INTRODUCTION A consolidated schedule of post adjustment classifications and threshold figures used for calculating rental subsidies (or deductions) is attached. Names of countries and areas, which appear in English alphabetical order, are indexed in French in the list attached to the schedule. In cases where only one post adjustment classification is shown for a country, normally for the capital city, that classification will be applicable for all duty stations within the country. This schedule is effective 1 September 2016, unless otherwise indicated, and supersedes any schedule previously published. It is available on the ICSC home page http://icsc.un.org On trouvera ci-joint un barème mis à jour du classement des lieux d'affectation aux fins d'ajustements des indemnités de poste et des seuils aux fins du calcul des allocations (ou déductions) de logement. Les noms des pays et localités figurent par ordre alphabétique anglais. On trouvera à l'index annexé au barème les noms en français. Dans les cas où une seule classe est indiquée pour le pays, en général pour la ville capitale, cette classe s'applique à tous les lieux d'affectation dans le pays. Sauf indication contraire, le barème ci-joint entre en vigueur le 1er semptembre 2016 et remplace tous les barèmes déjà parus. Il est disponible sur le site internet de la CFPI: http://icsc.un.org II. DESCRIPTION OF DATA APPEARING IN PAC CIRCULARS 1. Country or area - Name of country or area appears under this column. 2.

The Commission, at the request of the General Assembly, established procedures to be applied in situations where the implementation of a place-to-place survey results in a significantly lower post adjustment index (PAI) than the existing pay index. Details of these procedures are contained in the Commission’s report of the work of its thirty-fifth session ICSC/35/R.17, para. 61 (d) and in the post adjustment circulars ICSC/CIRC/PAC/208 and ICSC/CIRC/PAC/281 of 6 April 1992 and 4 May 1998, respectively. 2. In accordance with the above-mentioned procedures, if the PAI resulting from a place-toplace survey is less than the prevailing pay index by more then 5%, then a revised post adjustment multiplier (PAM) is implemented. 3. Under the gap closure measure the revised PAM is calculated by increasing the updated survey PAI by 5%. This revised PAM is applicable for all staff members in the duty station. Existing staff members already at the duty station before the implementation date receive the revised PAM and a personal transition allowance (PTA). 4. The PTA is the difference between the new PAM and the existing PAM. The PTA is adjusted every three months until it is phased out. During an adjustment month, the new PTA is calculated by taking the difference between the new pay index and the sum of the PTA and new pay index reduced by 5%. 5. The table below gives details of the PAI, multiplier and PTA effective 1 September 2016 for Peru and Samoa under the gap closure measure. Table 1: Duty stations under gap closure measure based on survey effective 1 September 2016 Duty station Existing PAM Existing pay index Updated Survey PAI Updated Survey PAI plus 5% Revised PAM (2) + 100 PTA (2) - (6) (4) x 1.05 (1) (2) (3) (4) (6) (7) (5) Peru 42.9 142.9 131.66 138.2 38.2 4.7 Samoa 52.5 152.5 135.87 142.7 42.7 9.8 V. Completion of Gap Closure Measure 6. The PTA is eliminated as of 1 September 2016 for the duty stations listed in Table 2. This completes the implementation of the gap closure measure following the results of the most recent place-to-place survey conducted in the duty station. Table 2: Completion of gap closure measure by duty station effective 1 September 2016 Duty Station Date of Survey Reference China, Macao (SAR) February 2016 ICSC/CIRC/PAC/498 of 14 June 2016 Guinea September 2015 ICSC/CIRC/PAC/495 of 15 March 2016 Malawi January 2016 ICSC/CIRC/PAC/495 of 15 March 2016 Mauritania August 2015 ICSC/CIRC/PAC/495 of 15 March 2016 Russian Federation January 2015 ICSC/CIRC/PAC/495 of 15 March 2016 VI. Cost-of-living surveys 7. The results of cost-of-living surveys for duty stations listed in Table 3 are included in the attached Consolidated Post Adjustment Circular. Table 3: List of surveys by duty station for September 2016 Duty station Type of survey Date of survey Survey materials received Belarus Housing April 2016 May 2016 Cameroon Housing April 2016 May 2016 Comoros Housing May 2016 May 2016 Congo Housing April 2016 May 2016 Costa Rica Place-to-place March 2016 May 2016 Madagascar Place-to-place April 2016 May 2016 Peru Place-to-place March 2016 May 2016 Samoa Place-to-place April 2016 May 2016 United Arab Emirates Place-to-place March 2016 May 2016 VII. Personal Transitional Allowance (PTA) 8. The PTA is adjusted every three months until it is phased out. During an adjustment month, the new PTA is calculated by reducing the pay index for existing staff by 5 per cent and then subtracting the prevailing pay index. Table 4 is a summary of all PTAs in effect as of 1 September 2016.
