The United Nations common system is understood as common standards, methods and arrangements being applied to salaries, allowances and benefits for the staff of the United Nations system. The common system is designed to avoid serious discrepancies in terms and conditions of employment, to avoid competition in recruitment of personnel and to facilitate the interchange of personnel among common system organizations.
The conditions of service in the common system is regulated by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC), while co-ordination amongst common system entities take place through United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB), under the chairmanship of the UN Secretary-General.
A list of UN common system members can be found on the ICSC website here.
