| schestowitz | On 30 May 2023, the Appeals Committee (ApC) issued an opinion in respect of appeal RI/2018/058 concerning changes to contribution rates to the New Pension Scheme (NPS) and Salary Savings Plan (SSP). The ApC’s opinion was unanimous and comprised inter alia the recommendation that changes should be re-examined on the basis of an actuarial evaluation of the new pension scheme architecture, including both the NPS and the SSP. On 28 July 2 | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | 023, Ms Simon (Vice-President DG4) rejected the appeal and decided not to mandate the actuaries to re-examine the changes to contribution rates. | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | On 21 June 2023, the ApC issued an opinion in respect of appeal RI/2018/070 concerning the calculation of reckonable years for those NPS plan members who transferred pension rights from a national pension scheme to the Office’s pension scheme. The ApC’s opinion was unanimous and recommends that all appeals be sent back to the Office for re-evaluation of the age coefficients used for retroactive application on the appellants. The act | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | uaries should be asked to set these age coefficients as if they had been set had the Office requested them in a timely manner, i.e., in 2009, when the New Pension Scheme came into force. On 22 September 2023, Ms Simon (Vice-President DG4) rejected the appeal. | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | Both cases are of importance for hundreds of members of the NPS/SSP who expected the appointing authority to follow the recommendations of the EPO internal justice body. They are now left with no other option than to pursue the cases in front of the Tribunal. | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | The rejection of these appeals is also difficult to reconcile with the Office’s official statements that “dialogue takes precedence […] with a strong focus on the prevention and early resolution of disputes” (emphasis added). It appears that the Office intends to adopt a strictly detrimental approach towards staff on appeals concerning staff benefits. | Jan 10 04:02 |
| schestowitz | In this open letter to the President, we request that the Office follows unanimous opinions in favour of staff." | Jan 10 04:02 |
