Article 1
1. An official paid from appropriations in the research and investment budget and employed in an establishment of the Joint Research Centre or on indirect action, or paid from appropriations in the operational budget and employed in a computer centre, or a security department, and who is engaged in shiftwork within the meaning of Article 56a of the Staff Regulations shall be entitled to an allowance of:
-
Bfrs 2 685 - where the department operates on a two-shift basis, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays;
-
Bfrs 4 430 - where the department operates on a round-the-clock basis, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays;
-
Bfrs 6 041 - where the department operates on a continuous basis.
The allowance shall be adjusted by the weighting applicable to the official's salary.
2. Where shiftwork does not continue throughout the month, one thirtieth of the said allowance shall be paid for each day on which shifts are worked. However, no allowance shall be paid if the number of days of shiftwork is fewer than three per month.
3. An official who can show that for a period not exceeding one month he was prevented from doing shiftwork on grounds of illness, accident, shutdown, leave for attendance at training courses or annual leave, shall retain his entitlement to the allowance. If the period during which he is prevented from doing shiftwork extends to more than one month, his entitlement to the allowance shall be suspended at the end of that month until he resumes work.
