The entitlement formerly known as the Assignment grant is now called Settling-in grant. Under this policy, payment of the non-removal allowance is discontinued. Staff who moved prior to the implementation of the new relocation package and are in receipt of non-removal allowance will continue to receive the allowance for up to five years, or until they move to another duty station, as per current eligibility criteria.

Further, the second lump sum equivalent to one additional month of net salary previously payable under the non-removal option in case of moves to field duty stations for three years or more has been abolished. Where the letter offer issued to the staff member includes a payment of the second lump sum payment, this will be honoured.
