EU’s Human Resources Policy in respect of CA FG IV:• According to Art. 9 of Annex VII of the GIPs, the desired
average reclassification period for each grade is:
Function Group
Grade
Average number of years spent in the grade before reclassification into the next grade
IV 18 A CA needs on average 27 years to get here
17 between 6 and 10
16 between 5 and 7
15 between 4 and 6
14 between 3 and 5
13 between 3 and 5
CA 3a: Career perspectives
33
Such striking salary difference exists regardless both staff categories performs jobs of the same functional type (administrative, advisory, linguistic).
….and despite the same level of experience, qualifications. Considering that CAs perform “core tasks” on a regular basis, can the salary difference be justified because Officials passed an EPSO Competition whereas CAs passed an EPSO Test?

CA 3a: Career perspectives

A CA FG IV entering at grade 13 will do exactly the same job for his/her entire career. No career perspectives at all.
Career perspectives of an official:
An official recruited at AST level can find his/her way right to the top grades of the AD function group through internal competitions (Art. 29 SR) and the certification procedure (Art. 45a SR).
