Decision
1. The Secretary-General's decision of 13 December 1996 is quashed. 2. The ITU shall pay the complainant the special post allowance at grade P.4 as from 1 August 1995 in accordance with Staff Regulation 3.8 a). 3. It shall pay him 4,000 Swiss francs in costs.
Consideration 14
Extract:
ITU Staff Regulation 3.8 (a) lays down two conditions regarding the payment of a special post allowance: "one is that there must be a post at a higher grade than the claimant's; the other that the claimant must be performing the duties of the post. The Union adds a third condition, that the post description must be recent. But it is wrong: there is neither a written rule nor any particular basic principle that lays down that requirement."
