Judgment 5045
140th Session, 2025
International Atomic Energy Agency
Extracts: EN,
FR
Full Judgment Text: EN,
FR
Summary: The complainant challenges the communication, addressed by the IAEA to all of its staff members of British nationality, informing them that officials holding a residence permit under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union would be considered as having obtained permanent residence status in the country of their duty station (Austria), which would affect their home leave and repatriation grant entitlements as well as the privileges and immunities granted to them.
Consideration 18
Extract:
The complainant seeks payment of 1,735 euros for one home leave cycle but there is no persuasive evidence that this amount was claimed, and payment was refused. There has been no “non-observance [...] of the Staff Regulations” which, in this respect, is foundational to the Tribunal’s jurisdiction (see Article II of the Tribunal’s Statute). His claim for orders concerning future entitlements to home leave should also be rejected.

Consideration 10
Extract:
[T]he provision concerning home leave contained a clause that declared that '[a] staff member who has changed his/her residential status in such a way that he/she may, in the opinion of the Director General, be deemed to be a permanent resident of a country other than that of his/her nationality may lose or incur a change in his/her entitlement to home leave'. This element of the provision conferred a discretion in two respects. Firstly, a discretion was conferred on the Director General to 'deem' a staff member a permanent resident though, by necessary implication, there was a discretion not to deem a staff member a permanent resident. A multitude of considerations could potentially be relevant. The second element of discretion was that even if deemed a permanent resident, the staff member could either, as possible alternatives, lose an entitlement to home leave or incur a change in that entitlement. The provision does not expressly state who makes that assessment and on what basis though it is more likely than not, it is another discretionary power of some width, vested in the Director General.

Extract:
[I]nasmuch as it was further to the EPO’s unlawful decision to dismiss the complainant that he was unable to take annual leave between 23 June 2016 and his reinstatement at the end of July 2018 (pursuant to the order in Judgment 4051), he is entitled to be credited with the accrued annual leave for the subject period. For the same reason, he is also entitled to be credited with accrued home leave for the same period.

Consideration 9
Extract:
"The main justification for granting benefits such as home leave or an education grant to some staff members is not that the beneficiaries have a particular nationality, but that their duty station is not in their recognised home country. Far from being discriminatory, such practices, which moreover exist in most international organisations, are designed to restore a degree of equality between officials serving in a foreign country and those who are working in a country where they normally have their home. The two categories cannot be regarded as being in identical situations. Consequently, according to firm precedent, the principle of equality must not lead to their being treated in an identical manner when a difference in treatment is appropriate and adapted (see Judgment 2313 [...])."

Consideration 22
Extract:
The complainant requests that the effective date of the administration's decision to grant her international status be changed to December 1991 instead of August 2005. "[I]t may be noted that, exceptionally, retroactive effect may be granted to a decision where the effect is favourable to a staff member (see Judgment 1130). In the present case, however, a grant of retroactivity would confer no benefit on the complainant either in relation to home leave or education grant. In the circumstances, the rule against retroactivity should be applied."

Consideration 14
Extract:
"[I]t is convenient to note the different but related purposes of home leave and education grant. The purpose of home leave is not to confer a financial benefit or to make a monetary concession (see Judgment 937). Rather, as pointed out in Judgment 2389, it is 'to enable staff members who, owing to their work, spend a number of years away from the country with which they have the closest personal or material ties to return there in order to maintain those connections'. Similarly, the purpose of the education grant is made explicit by UN Staff Regulation 3.2(c), namely, to provide for a staff member 'serving in a country whose language is different from his or her own and who is obliged to pay tuition for the teaching of the mother tongue to a dependent child attending a local school in which the instruction is given in a language other than his or her own'."

Consideration 6
Extract:
"Under [Staff] Rule [105.3], it is not sufficient for entitlement to home leave that internationally recruited staff members be serving in a country other than that of which they are nationals; they must also meet the required conditions. Thus, paragraph 2a of the Rule stipulates that a staff member shall be eligible for home leave provided that while performing his official duties he continues to reside in a country other than that of which he is a national. This condition is clearly not met in the case of a staff member who lived in his home country only during his early childhood and who, at the time of his appointment, had been residing for several decades, practically without a break, in the country where he performs his official duties."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The home country "is not necessarily that of the staff member's nationality. It could be the country with which he has the closest connection outside the country in which he is employed (see Judgment 1985, under 9), for instance the home country of his wife or of children whom he may have adopted or taken in but who he believes should keep up their connections with their native environment. Thus, according to Staff Rule 105.3, paragraph 4c, the Director General, in exceptional circumstances, may authorise a staff member to take home leave in a country other than the country of his nationality, provided that the latter can show that he maintained his normal residence in that other country for a prolonged period preceding his appointment, that he continues to have close family or personal ties in that country and that his taking home leave there would not be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Staff Regulation 5.3."

Extract:
"[T]he purpose of home leave is to enable staff members who, owing to their work, spend a number of years away from the country with which they have the closest personal or material ties to return there in order to maintain those connections. Regulation 5.3, which denies home leave to staff members whose home country is the country of their official duty station or who continue to reside in their home country, is therefore self-explanatory. Regulation 4.5, paragraph 2, reflects the same reasoning, insofar as it provides that a staff member may lose entitlement to home leave if, following a change in his residential status, he is, in the opinion of the Director General, deemed to be a permanent resident of any country other than that of his nationality, provided that the Director General considers that the continuation of such entitlement would be contrary to the purposes for which the benefit was created."

Consideration 9
Extract:
"The purpose of home leave is to allow employees whose work separates them for a specified period from the place with which they have the closest connection outside the country in which they are employed, to return there in order to maintain their ties. The complainant was not required to work during the period from June 1995 to September 1997; and she does not deny residing in Canada, her home country, during that period. Therefore, she may not claim home leave for the period in question. The fact that the [organisation] granted her the expatriation allowance retroactively does not imply that she was also entitled to home leave."

The complainant is seeking a change, to which the organisation is opposed, in the designation it originally made upon recruitment of his official home. "It would offend against the principle of equal treatment [for a new] recruit who has strong ties with the country of one of two nationalities [to] get the automatic designation of a place in that country as 'home', while in identical circumstances another employee is refused designation of his home in that country simply because he is seeking review of a determination already made."

Extract:
The complainant objects to CERN's refusal to change his home from that of which he is a citizen to another country. "The original determination of the home station on recruitment and any later change are incontrovertibly at the discretion of CERN, which has to give weight to the various criteria the Staff Regulations set. For the sake of sound management [...] the organization may set guidelines on the matter. So there can be no objection to its consistent policy of determining the staff member's home, barring evidence to the contrary, in his own country and allowing later change to some other country only where some change in circumstances so warrants."

The complainant's request to have his designated home changed was turned down. He says that at the time of his recruitment there was an agreement with the administration to give him local status to avoid his running the risk of returning to his home country. "The argument fails. [...] The ILO could never have forced him to go [back to his home country], the taking of home leave being a right, not a duty".
