All claims for reimbursement for non-work related injuries and illnesses must be submitted to the Pensions and Insurance Section with proof of payment as soon as possible. If the amount is high, special arrangements can be made.

 

ITU participates in the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) which provides retirement, disability and survivors’ benefits for the staff of organizations that are members of the Fund. A full description of these schemes can be found in the UNJSPF Rules and Regulations and in an explanatory booklet issued by the UNJSPF, "The United Nations Pension System".
Staff who have an appointment of six months or more or who complete six months of service without an interruption of more than 30 days become participants in the Fund. A worldwide scale of pensionable remuneration, used for determining contributions to the Fund and for calculating pension benefits, is applicable to all Professional Staff. For General Service staff, contributions are based on their gross salary.
The current rate of contribution to the Fund is 23.7 per cent of pensionable remuneration, where two thirds is paid by the organization and one third by the staff member.
Pensions are calculated on the basis of the staff member’s final average remuneration (FAR), defined as the average pensionable remuneration for the highest 36 months of the last five years of service. Benefit accumulation rates, which may vary according to the date on which the staff member joined the fund, are described in detail in UNJSPF regulations.
Under conditions prescribed in UNJSPF regulations, a child’s benefit may be payable concurrently with a participant’s pension and survivor’s benefits may be payable to a spouse, child or secondary dependent. The Pension Fund does not reimburse national taxes on pensions.

Further pension information can be obtained by contacting the Pension and Insurance Section, or from the CCPPNU website.
