Agenda

FICSA Workshop on General Service salary survey methodology for non-headquarters duty stations (Monaco, 8 to 12 June 2009)

Dear Colleagues,

I have the pleasure to inform you that a FICSA Workshop on General Service salary survey methodology for non-headquarters duty stations will be held in Monaco, with the kind assistance of the local IAEA Office, from 8 to 12 June 2009.

The Workshop will be held at the IAEA Office and conducted in English by a FICSA Expert/Resource Person.

The workshop is open to staff representatives and participants irrespective of their duty station of assignment. However, participation from European and neighbouring countries is recommended, particularly from locations earmarked for comprehensive salary surveys in the next twelve months.

Workshop programme

The aim of the workshop is to enhance the knowledge of salary survey techniques to the maximum extent possible by providing participants with a detailed overview of the methodology in force at field duty stations, covering survey participants roles and responsibilities as well as due proceedings. Basic concepts related to the system of job evaluation and job classification will be dealt with. Within the framework of the methodology, the following phases will be analyzed: preparatory work, data collection, data analysis, construction and approval of the new salary scale. Interim adjustment procedures and special measures (inflation, devaluation and other situations) will be reviewed as well.

Participation fees

Please note that these workshops are offered free-of-charge to staff representatives from FICSA dues-paying members.

However, a fee of $US 600 is charged for other participants, including staff representatives from non-FICSA member organizations.

A reduced fee of $US 500 per person is charged in the case where two or more participants are enrolled from the same organization and duty station.

Accommodation and general information

The Workshop programme as well as a general information note on hotel accommodation, transportation, visa requirements, etc. will be sent directly to the participants upon confirmation of their participation and required clearances.
