A mobility incentive is introduced to replace the current mobility allowance. The annual amounts of the mobility incentive per grade band are as follows:
P.1 – P.3 6,500 USD
P.4 – P.5 8,125 USD
D.1 and above 9,750 USD
The incentive is payable to staff with at least five consecutive years of prior service in a UN common system organization, as of their second assignment, following a geographical move. Staff assigned to category "H" duty stations will not be eligible to the incentive. The incentive will be payable for a period of up to five years. Staff members serving in the "H'' duty stations that are in receipt of the mobility allowance or received a letter of offer that included the mobility allowance will continue to receive the current amount for up to five years or the move to the next assignment, whichever comes earlier. The mobility incentive will be increased by 25 per cent as of the 4th assignment, and by 50 per cent as of the 7th assignment.
The hardship allowance system is adjusted as follows, eliminating the current single rate (amounts in USD):
Hardship category P.1 – P.3 P.4 – P.5 D.1 and above
A - - -
B 5,810 6,970 8,140
C 10,470 12,780 15,110
D 13,950 16,280 18,590
E 17,440 20,920 23,250
The current additional hardship allowance is replaced with a non-family service allowance. Eligible staff with recognized dependents receive 19,800 USD/year (1,650 USD/month); staff with no dependents receive 7,500 USD/year (625 USD/month).
