2013-Ģ��ƵAT-368

Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT agreed with Ģ��ƵDT that the request for management evaluation was time-barred and not receivable. Ģ��ƵAT held that the 60-day time limit for the purpose of requesting management evaluation of a non-selection decision started on 29 October 2010, when the staff member was informed of her non-selection, and not on 17 December 2010, when she learned of the identity of the selected candidate. Ģ��ƵAT held that there was no second administrative decision that reset the time limit; rather, the staff member learning the identity of the selected candidate was a consequence of the administrative decision not to select her. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the appeal.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision not to select her for a post at P-4 level. Ģ��ƵDT found that the application was not receivable since the staff member��s request for management evaluation was time-barred.

Legal Principle(s)

A staff member wishing to formally contest an administrative decision shall, as a first step, submit to the Secretary-General in writing a request for management evaluation. The deadlines for management evaluation cannot be suspended or waived.
