a) The regular budget comprises recurrent staff and non staff costs.

4. Common staff costs 804 300

III. Civilian staff and related costs . 25

(a) Salaries and related staff costs 649,700.

Table 1.2 Standard staff costs (based on United Nations standard salary costs for Geneva)

Staff costs, support costs and operating and other overhead expenses comprised 11.6 per cent, 3.8 per cent and 3.9 per cent, respectively, of the total cost of the project.

(c) Report on common staff costs (SPLOS 127)

Extrapolated by JIU from UNPD staff costs for its 71 staff members at Headquarters.

Common staff costs were lower than in 2002 for reasons of lower staff turnover.

These savings are offset in part by higher requirements under other staff costs ( 698,100), contractual services ( 1,530,100), improvement of premises ( 299,800), grants and contributions ( 976,000) and staff assessment ( 371,500).

Salaries and common staff costs of international staff are net of staff assessment and are based on standard costs for United Nations Truce Supervisory Organization (UNTSO) which is applicable to Cyprus.

The amount of 5,608,100 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for 30 continuing posts and 6 new posts (2 P 3, 4 General Service (Other level)).

The amount of 4,370,900 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for 22 continuing posts, plus three new posts (1 P 4, 2 General Service (Other level)).

The higher requirement under common staff costs is attributable to service and family allowances being charged to common staff costs but budgeted under international staff salaries, combined with a higher percentage of international staff holding 100 series appointments.

The net decrease of 25,200 is attributable mainly to lower requirements in other staff costs based on the current pattern of expenditure.

Furthermore, the reductions under common staff costs reflect both the realized vacancy rates described above and the lower than budgeted actual rate of common staff costs ( 5,526,400).

11.23 The resources of 1,330,400, at the maintenance level, provide for the continuation of four existing posts and related non post resources (other staff costs, consultants and experts and travel of staff).

The amount of 1,203,500 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for five continuing posts and the redeployment of one General Service (Other level) post from the Investments Section.

These estimated requirements are needed to cover the salaries and related staff costs of UNIDIR regular staff.

Field operating costs have been reduced by 1,147,800 and the new staffing structure resulted in lower staff costs.

The amount of 6,282,800 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for 45 continuing posts.

The amount of 1,636,500 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for 10 continuing posts.

To facilitate comparability with the programme of work and budget proposals of other organizations of the United Nations system, the staff costs are shown net of staff assessment under the various expenditure sections of the programme budget.

Staff costs have been shown on a net basis under section 3 above.

(iii) Biennium 2000 2001 charges of 23,137 related to IAEA library staff costs

In the same period, staff related costs of closure amounted to almost 20 million.

3. Other costs pertaining to contingents

Expenditure (staff costs and field office costs) for the same period amounted to 8.8 million, leading to a surplus of 0.5 million in 2004.

The net reduction of 91,200 reflects additional requirements of 39,700 relating to the travel of representatives, offset by reduced requirements, based on the pattern of expenditure, for other staff costs ( 75,500), travel of staff ( 42,800) and general operating expenses ( 12,600).

Those costs are related to maintenance expenses and salaries for the local staff and security.

The amount of 1,075,000 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for five continuing posts and one additional post (P 3).

The amount of 338,300 provides for the salaries, common staff costs and staff assessment for two new posts (1 P 5, 1 P 4).

United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board (including United Nations participation in the costs of the secretariat of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund)

Under non post objects of expenditure, the resources relate to general temporary assistance, overtime, consultants, travel of staff and other operational costs, such as general operating expenses, supplies and equipment.

Other big legal and regulatory costs loom.

The amount of 3,921,600 provides for general temporary assistance, common staff costs, staff assessment and mission subsistence allowance, when applicable, for the 25 additional positions.
