7.   ENGAGEMENT AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

The selected applicant will be appointed by the Management Board of eu-LISA upon recommendation of the Selection Committee and the Executive Director following the selection procedure.

For reasons related to eu-LISA’s operational requirements, once the applicant receives an engagement offer, he/she may be required to confirm their acceptance of the offer in a short time, and be available to start the contract at short notice.

The successful applicant will be engaged as Temporary Staff, pursuant to Article 2(a) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (CEOS) for a duration of five years, which may be renewed once for no more than five years. The Temporary Staff post will be placed in Function Group AD, Grade 13 in the first or second step, depending on the length of professional experience.

The pay of staff members consists of a basic salary in EUR weighted by the correction coefficient (for Tallinn, Estonia 82,2 %) and paid in EUR (15).

In addition to the basic salary, staff members may be entitled to various allowances depending on their personal situation.

eu-LISA staff members pay an EU tax at the source and deductions are also made for medical insurance, pension and unemployment insurance. Salaries are exempt from national taxation.

Staff members may also be entitled to the reimbursement of removal costs and an initial temporary daily subsistence allowance. The provisions guiding the calculation of these allowances can be consulted in Annex VII of the Staff Regulations available at the following address:

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:1962R0031:20140101:EN:PDF

The complete salary table is available in Article 66 of the Staff Regulations.

eu-LISA staff members are entitled to annual leave of two working days per each complete calendar month of the service. There are on average 19 Public Holidays per year.

Throughout the period of service staff members participate in the EU pension scheme. The pension is granted after completing a minimum of 10 years’ service and reaching the pensionable age. Pension rights acquired in one or more national schemes before starting to work at eu-LISA may be transferred into the EU pension system.

eu-LISA staff members are covered 24/7 and worldwide by the Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme (JSIS). Staff is insured against sickness, the risk of occupational disease and accident as well as entitled to a monthly unemployment allowance, the right to receive payment of invalidity allowance and travel insurance.

For further information on working conditions of temporary staff, please refer to CEOS: http://eurlex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:1962R0031:20140101:EN:PDF

The initial duration of the contract is five years, including a probationary period of nine months, with the possibility of one contract renewal for another period of no more than five years.

All selected applicants will need to have, or be in a position to obtain, a valid Personnel Security Clearance Certificate (TRES SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET level).

A Personnel Security Clearance Certificate (PSCC) means a certificate issued by a competent authority establishing that an individual is security cleared and holds a valid national or EU PSC, which shows the level of EU Classified Information (EUCI) to which that individual may be granted access (CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL or above), the date of validity of the relevant PSC and the date of expiry of the certificate itself. For more information about EUCI please consult the Decision (EU, Euratom) 2015/444 on the security rules for protecting EU classified information.

Applicants who currently hold a valid security clearance shall provide a copy of the security clearance to eu-LISA and specify the issuing authority, level and date of expiry. In case the validity of the security clearance expires within six months, the renewal procedure will be initiated expeditiously.

Note that the necessary procedure for obtaining a PSCC can be initiated on request of the employer only, and not by the individual applicant.

Failure to obtain the required security clearance certificate from the successful applicant's National Security Authority, either during or after the expiration of the probationary period, will give the right to eu-LISA to terminate any applicable employment contract.
