ANNEX ISupplementary provisions
ANNEX I PART-TIME WORK Article 1 The request for authorisation to work part-time shall be submitted by the staff member through the staff member's immediate superior at least two months before the requested date, except in duly justified urgent cases. Authorisation may be granted for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three years, without prejudice to the cases referred to in Article 17 and Article 45(2)(e). The authorisation may be renewed on the same terms. Applications for renewal shall be made by the staff member concerned at least two months before expiry of the period for which the authorisation was granted. Part-time work may not be less than half the normal working time. A period of part-time work shall start on the first day of a month, except in duly justified cases. Article 2 The AACC may, at the request of the staff member concerned, withdraw the authorisation before expiry of the period for which it is granted. The date of withdrawal may not be more than two months after the date proposed by the staff member or four months after that date if the part-time work was authorised for more than one year. The AACC may, in exceptional cases and in the interests of the service, withdraw the authorisation before the expiry of a period for which it is granted, giving the staff member two months' notice. Article 3 A staff member shall be entitled, during the period for which part-time work is authorised, to a percentage of his remuneration corresponding to the percentage of the normal time worked. However, the percentage shall not be applied to the dependent child allowance, the basic amount of the household allowance or the education allowance. Contributions to the sickness insurance scheme shall be calculated by reference to the basic salary payable to a staff member working full time. Contributions to the pension scheme shall be calculated by reference to the basic salary received by a staff member working part-time. The staff member may also request that contributions to the pension scheme be calculated by reference to the basic salary payable to a staff member working full time, in accordance with Article 90. Acquired rights, for the purposes of Article 1 of Annex V, shall be calculated in proportion to the percentage of contributions paid. During the period of part-time work, the staff member may not work overtime or engage in any gainful activity, other than an activity in accordance with Article 17. Article 4 The AACC may lay down detailed rules for the application of these provisions.
