Brett Fitzgerald has been a WIPO staff member since 1991. Some of the WIPO staff representative roles in which he served include: President of the WIPO Staff Association; member of the Consultative Group which reviewed all of the WIPO Staff Regulations and Rules over a period of two years; member of the WIPO Reclassification Committee; elected member on the WIPO Joint Appeals Board; member of the Geneva Local Salary Survey Committee for General Service staff; and elected participants’ representative on the WIPO Joint Staff Pension Committee, thus serving for many years on the UN Joint Staff Pension Board.
During the most recent years Brett held several different roles in FICSA, consecutively: FICSA General Secretary; FICSA Information Officer; and earlier this year he completed his term as FICSA President. A couple of the major staff representation activities in which Brett was heavily involved during his tenure in FICSA was the International Civil Service Commission’s (ICSC) review of the total compensation package for staff in the Professional and higher categories; and the ICSC’s review of the post adjustment methodology and its related operational rules.
