General

10    Transfers, secondments or loans of staff members between organizations applying the United Nations common system of salaries and allowances are governed by the inter-organization agreement reproduced in III.20 Annex 4.B. Appointments by inter-agency transfer should, as far as possible, be made effective on the first of the month.

20    Appointees accepted for transfer from another United Nations organization, shall be appointed on a fixed-term appointment in accordance with Staff Rule 420.5, and serve the same probationary period as a newly appointed staff member. Appointees transferred from the Pan American Health Organization who have successfully completed a probationary period shall not be required to undergo a probationary period on transfer to WHO. 

30    Appointees transferred from another UN Organization who hold the equivalent of a continuing appointment, will be considered on a case-by-case basis, for such an appointment after completing a probationary period, with particular importance being paid to the practice in the releasing Organization of reciprocally honouring such appointments upon transfer of WHO staff members to them. 

40    Information on the transfer, secondment or loan of a General Service staff member from another United Nations organization to WHO or from WHO to another United Nations organization is found in III.13.1.430.

50    These provisions are not applicable to staff members holding temporary appointments as defined in Staff Rule 420.4 or to those appointed under Staff Rule 1320.
