The main conditions of service with UNDP for international ALD contract holders, who are considered United Nations staff members, are set out below. B. Standards of conduct of the International Civil Service. C. Description of non-pay conditions for ALD appointments.
Remuneration is expressed and payable in a net lump sum each month.
It is calculated based on a number of elements, principally the level of responsibility of the assignment, the experience and competencies of the individual recruited, and the prevailing international labour market rates. UNDP also makes reference to its salary scales for other similar categories of professional staff when establishing the pay rate for an ALD appointment. Net pay is agreed on by the ALD contract holder and the managing unit at the outset of the assignment, when formalising the contract. It is not adjusted automatically in the course of the contract period. As remuneration under the ALD appointment is through a lump sum payment, no additional allowances are paid for spouse, children, educational assistance, language allowance, rental subsidy, etc.
