APPEAL AGAINST NON PROPOSAL FOR PROMOTION /

RECLASSIFICATION BY YOUR DG

On Tuesday 18 June, DGs will publish the proposals for promotion in Sysper: they will be followed on Tuesday 25 June by the proposals for reclassification. From the day of publication, you have 5 working days to introduce an appeal if you think you were unjustly not proposed for promotion / reclassification by your DG this year, although you fulfil all the criteria with regard to

– seniority in the grade

– merits as reflected in your evaluation report

– responsibilities

– languages used in the service

Although every situation is different, R&D has listed some of the most typical situations that might give you reason to file an appeal with the Promotion / Reclassification Committee.

R&D wants to remind you that DGs have not received quota for AST /SC colleagues: quota will be allocated only to the Promotion Committee. You have to launch an ap­peal if you belong to this function group !

Templates that can help you to prepare your text are available.

R&D staff representatives will, at every step, defend the principles of equitable and fair promotions and reclassifications.

R&D also set up a Help Desk—e-mail: OSP-RD@ec.europa.eu
