Information circular*
To: Members of the staff
From: The Assistant Secretary-General for Human Resources Management
Revised salary scales for staff in the General Service and related
categories at Headquarters
Subject:
1.
The current procedure for effecting interim adjustments to the salary scales for
staff in the General Service and related categories at Head quarters calls for an
adjustment in the net salaries of such staff by 90 per cent of the movement of the
consumer price index (CPI) for New York.
2.
The CPI for the month of February 2014 reflects a 1.09 per cent movement
over the February 2013 index. In application of the above-mentioned procedure, the
net salaries of staff in the General Service, Language Teacher, Public Information
Assistant, Security Service and Trades and Crafts categories will be adjusted upward
by 1.0 per cent, effective 1 March 2014.
3.
In view of General Assembly resolution 68/253, the current rates of
dependency and language allowances will remain unchanged.
4.
The revised salary scales, which are contained in the annex to the presen t
circular, will be implemented in the end of April 2014 payroll.
* The present circular, which cancels and supersedes circular ST/IC/2013/11 dated 4 April 2013,
will be in effect until further notice.
