The parental leave policy supersedes UNDP's policies on Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave and Adoption Leave for the administration of parental leave in respect of a child born or adopted on or after 1 January 2023. For a staff member with a child born or adopted on 31 December 2022 or earlier, UNDP's policies on maternity, paternity, and adoption leave will continue to apply until completion of the respective leave entitlement contained in those policies.

The parental leave policy supersedes UNDP's policies on Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave and Adoption Leave for the administration of parental leave in respect of a child born or adopted on or after 1 January 2023. For a staff member with a child born or adopted on 31 December 2022 or earlier, UNDP's policies on maternity, paternity, and adoption leave will continue to apply until completion of the respective leave entitlement contained in those policies. The parental leave policy provides for a period of 16 weeks of leave for all birth parents, plus an additional period of 10 weeks (for a total of 26 weeks) for gestational birth parents (consisting of a pre and post-natal leave period). This replaces the previous allocation of 16 weeks for maternity leave, 4 or 8 weeks for paternity leave, and 8 weeks for adoption leave. UNDP's policies on maternity, paternity, and adoption leave are valid until 31 December 2023 and will be retired thereafter. EXPAND

Paragraphs 16 and 22 of the Special Leave policy were updated to clarify that special leave for purposes of external employment will be approved only if it is deemed in UNDP's interest and to reinforce that this cannot exceed 24 months in duration. Where external employment is approved for purposes of accompanying a UNDP spouse reassigned to a duty station by UNDP, the time limit is extended to 60 months. |

The policy update includes editorial changes to provide clarity, align with the terminology reflected in the UN Staff Regulations and Rules as well as the Gender Parity Strategy, and to include the decisions approved by the Administrator related to the Gender Steering and Implementation Committee (GSIC) initiatives. Discussions with appropriate parties 5. The implementation of flexible working arrangements should always take place following detailed discussions on the work implications for all involved; this could mean intra-office discussions and, in some instances, also inter-office discussions. Office supervisors have a responsibility for consulting all parties concerned, especially other team members who work with the individual who is requesting flexible working arrangements. The arrangements are subject to review on an on-going basis. Contractual Status 34. When a staff member avails of the part-time employment arrangement, offices will be allowed to monetize the remainder of the full-time position to fund additional capacity, as needed. Maternity Leave 49. The maternity leave benefits granted to full-time staff members are also afforded to part-time staff members. During maternity leave, part-time staff members will receive their respective prorated salary and allowances. As a general rule, requests for extended leave (either annual or unpaid) up to 6 months and flexible working hours following maternity leave should be granted. In case there is a compelling reason that prevents the supervisor from granting the request, a written justification must be endorsed by the Head of Office and the respective Bureau. Paternity Leave 50. The paternity leave benefits granted to full-time staff members are also afforded to part-time staff members. During paternity leave, part-time staff members will receive their respective prorated salary and allowances. As a general rule, requests for extended leave (either annual or unpaid) and flexible working arrangements following paternity leave should be granted. In case there is a compelling reason that prevents the supervisor from granting the request, a written justification must be endorsed by the Head of Office and the respective Bureau. Adoption and Surrogacy Leave 51. The adoption and surrogacy leave benefits granted to full-time staff members are also afforded to part-time staff members. During adoption or surrogacy leave, part-time staff members will receive their respective prorated salary and allowances. As a general rule, requests for extended leave (either annual or unpaid) and flexible working arrangements following adoption or surrogacy leave should be granted. In case there is a compelling reason that prevents the supervisor from granting the request, a written justification must be endorsed by the Head of the Office and the respective Bureau. Telecommuting compact (full time)
72. Telecommuting can take place from a site as close as the normal commuting distance from the office or as far as from another country on another continent. Depending on this distance, the creation of a telecommuting arrangement may require an adjustment in the staff member’s conditions of service. This may require a change of duty station for the purpose of entitlements for which the HR focal point at the duty station must inform the HR Team Lead in BES/GSSU. If the full-time telecommuting arrangement commences before completion of one year in the duty station of assignment, the payments related to relocation and settling-in shall normally be prorated and recovered or adjusted accordingly. Entering into a full-time telecommuting arrangement does not change the contractual status under which a staff member is employed. Where there is no change in duty station required to establish the alternate dedicated worksite, conclusion of the telecommuting compact would be sufficient to establish the arrangement. For nationally recruited staff members, telecommuting arrangements are currently restricted to alternate dedicated worksites within the country or within commuting distance. EXPAND
