Considerations 7-8
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s case law, it is a primary rule of interpretation that words are to be given their obvious and ordinary meaning and must be construed objectively in their context and in keeping with their purport and purpose (see, for example,Judgments 4796, consideration 3, 4066, consideration 7, 4031, consideration 5, or 3744, consideration 8).
Should an ambiguity remain in the relevant provision after this method of construction is applied, the regulations or rules of an international organisation must, in principle, be construed in favour of the interests of its staff and not those of the organisation (see, for example, Judgments 4639, consideration 3, 3539, consideration 8, 3355, consideration 16, or 2276, consideration 4).
[T]he Tribunal considers that, while the wording [...] would certainly have been clearer had it expressly specified which grade the Administrative Council was referring to, there can be no doubt that this was the new grade assigned pursuant to decision CA/D 10/14.

Consideration 16
Extract:
When a distinct set of legal rules is created, linked to a certain grade level, it will inevitably affect the employees concerned differently, depending on their individual circumstances, and that is not, in itself, unlawful. Nonetheless, there would be reason to censure the criterion used for this purpose if it stemmed from a manifest error and thus amounted to an abuse of the power of discretion that organisations have in this matter.

Consideration 10
Extract:
[A]n organisation is entitled to introduce a career system unlike that in any other organisation so that it can meet its own unique requirements. It is thus difficult to see how a comparison could be undertaken.
Keywords:
grade;
Consideration 6
Extract:
According to the Tribunal’s case law, an organisation has broad discretion when altering salary structures and grading systems (see Judgments 2778, under 7, 3921, under 11, and 4134, under 26 and 49) and classifying officials individually (see, for example, Judgment 1495, under 14). Decisions on such matters are therefore subject to only limited review by the Tribunal, which will censure them only if they have been taken in breach of a rule of form or procedure, if they are based on an error of fact or law, if some essential fact was overlooked, if clearly mistaken conclusions were drawn from the evidence or if there was misuse of authority.

World Intellectual Property Organization

Full Judgment Text: EN,

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to maintain her contested job description.
Considerations 10-11
Extract:
The Tribunal’s case law has it that when a staff member of an international organization is transferred to a new post in non-disciplinary circumstances, that transfer is subject to the general principles governing all decisions affecting the staff member’s status. The organization must show due regard, in both form and substance, for the dignity of the staff member, particularly by providing her or him with work of the same level as that which she or he performed in her or his previous post and matching her or his qualifications (see, for example, Judgment 2229, under 3(a)). This requirement is consistent with Staff Regulation 4.3(c) [...].
The responsibilities that attach to posts are comparable where on an objective basis the level of the duties to be performed is similar (see, for example, Judgment 1343, under 9). It is not for the Tribunal to reclassify a post or to redefine the duties attaching thereto, as that exercise falls within the discretion of the executive head of the organization, on the recommendation of the relevant manager, and it is equally within the power of the management to determine the qualifications required for a particular post (see, for example, Judgment 2373, under 7). However, every employee has the right to a proper administrative position, which means that she or he should both hold a post and perform the duties pertaining thereto and should be given real work (see, for example, Judgment 2360, under 11).

Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to dismiss her claim for compensation on account of labour exploitation and compulsory labour.
Consideration 20
Extract:
[The Tribunal] can grant damages if it is not disputed that the complainant performed work beyond her current grade (see, for example, Judgment 3284, considerations 14 and 17). The Tribunal therefore determines that the complainant is entitled to material damages for the tasks that she performed above her G.5 grade, and that she is entitled to moral damages for the prejudice that she suffered by IOM’s breach.
