14 December 1957.
ANNEX
Regulation 3.4 (Dependency benefits)
Add a new paragraph (c), to read:"(i) With a view to avoiding duplication of benefits and in order to achieve equality between staff members who receive dependency benefits under applicable laws in the form of governmental grants or income tax exemption and staff members who do not receive such dependency benefits, the Secretary-General shall prescribe conditions under which the dependency allowance for a child specified in (a) (i) above shall be payable to the extent that the dependency benefits enjoyed by the staff member or his spouse under applicable laws amount to less than such a dependency allowance. Where any income tax exemption in respect of the child of a staff member accrues to the benefit of the United Nations under arrangements for reimbursement of income tax, the staff member shall receive the full amount of the dependency allowance for such child.
"(ii) The Secretary-General may determine the amount of the dependency benefits referred to in (c) (i) above on the basis of categories established by him in the interest of administrative convenience and simplicity provided that the benefit actually received plus the dependency allowance shall be no less than $300 in respect of a child."
As a result, the present paragraphs (c) and (d) become paragraphs (d) and (e).Annex I, paragraph 5
Add the following new text: "The Secretary-General may provide two further increments at $10,540 and $10,920, at two-yearly intervals, to staff in the Second Officer level who have remained in that level for at least five years and are, in his opinion, qualified for promotion."[1] Ibid., agenda item 51, document A/3656.
