  Summary: The complainants challenge the increase in their contributions to the Pension and Provident Fund such as it appears on their payslips for January 2021.

  Consideration 9

  Extract:

  [I]t is important to note that, contrary to what the complainants submit, the disputed increases in the contribution rate, which have the effect of reducing their net salary, do not influence the amount of the pension they will ultimately receive and affect them only as serving staff members, not future retirees. As the Tribunal observed when ruling on the complaint filed by a former BIPM staff member also directed against measures resulting from the 2016 reform of the Pension and Provident Fund, decisions concerning deductions from employment income made with a view to the acquisition of pension entitlements have a different purpose than those affecting the amount of a pension (see Judgment 4277, consideration 15). A breach of acquired rights owing to the effect of a new decision can only be determined by reference to the situation resulting from previous decisions with the same purpose (see Judgment 986, consideration 16 in fine). The complainants cannot therefore seek to rely, as they attempt to do, on a breach of the acquired rights they will have as future retirees.
