Contract policyand LD2IC exercise SébastienÉvrard
Contractpolicy and LD to IC exercise • Definitions and model • Statistics • History of Contract Policy • Bottleneck • Our claims • Possible solutions Public meeting – May 2013
Definitions and model • IC = indefinite contract • LD= limited duration • IC ratio: number of IC holders / number of staff • LD to IC conversion ratio in a given year: • IC awarded /( IC awarded + LD departures ) • In steady state (number of IC constant) • every IC departure triggers a LD to IC conversion Public meeting – May 2013
Statistics # of people LD Arrivals IC departures IC awarded Public meeting – May 2013
Statistics # of people LD Arrivals 3 + 3 years 4 years Insourcing LS1 Flexibility IC departures Insourcing LS1 Flexibility IC awarded Public meeting – May 2013
History of contractpolicy Our key objectives: • Favour excellence • Reduce job insecurity • Enhance possibility to get an IC contract as early as possible in career • Staff member can take initiative • Every contract policy is the result of a compromise Public meeting – May 2013
Bottleneck • Demographics: • Low number of IC departures in the coming years (around 40/yr) • Lot of LD contracts (LS1 flexibility posts) eligible for IC in 3 coming years • Management self-imposed constraint: 1750 IC ceiling • Raw LD to IC conversion ratio of 30% if nothing is done • Such a low ratio never occurred in the last 12 years Unacceptable for SA Public meeting – May 2013
Such a low ratio is bad for the Organization • Bad image • Unfair employer • “Kleenex employees” • Reduced attractiveness • Reduced effectiveness of LD contracts • Contrary to common belief Considering initial training, need for coaching by experienced staff, preparing for CCRB, disengagement while looking for a new job, end-of-contract indemnities, and possible unemployment benefits LD contract yearly effective cost is significantly higher than for IC contract! • Read article in next issue of Echo Public meeting – May 2013
Such a low ratio is bad for staff • LD contract holders • No distinction between LS1 flexibility post and other LD post • Intensified competition for all LD holders! • Reduced career perspective • Reduced motivation • IC contract holders • Reduced interest for coaching new staff • larger turnover = weakened teams and reduced team spirit • Would you have been granted an IC contract under such conditions (solidarity) ? • Not the best signal with respect to the long-term survival of Organization Public meeting – May 2013
Our demands • New contract policy was approved with some boundary conditions (LD to IC ratio around 60% at that time) • New contract policy under current conditions (Raw LD to IC ratio of 30 %) is too low Something needs to be done in 2013−2015 • Flexibility scheme bump is the result of decision by current Management Current Management should find a solution! Public meeting – May 2013
Possible solutions • Interpret the 1750 IC ceiling • 1750 people 1750 FTE (= 1820 IC) 1750 FTA (=1836 IC) • Short-term solution (a few years) • Give up self-imposed constraint = break the 1750 IC ceiling • 2250*0.8*1.05 (“FTA”) = 1890 IC (80% for baseline posts) • New projects decide by new European Strategy • 2250 FTA 2400 FTA? • Take into account fellows in LD calculations? • More favourable LD to IC ratio • CERN is a centre of excellence. It needs appropriate manpower resources: skilled and experienced staff Last Minute: 40% LD to IC conversion ratio Public meeting – May 2013
Summary • Communication • Modernize image, increased visibility, professional tools • Restructuring • Better recognition of work of delegates • No special, but equal and fair treatment • Training, preparation, Professional President’s Office • Elections end 2013 • Preparation of 5YR 2015 • Survey October 2013 your wish list • Decision Autumn 2015 • Recruit excellence, highest competence in all MS Public meeting – May 2013
Summary • LD to IC • No decisions based on self-imposed constraints • Recently proposed 40% is still too low • Coherent contract policy • Experienced long-term stable staff • Ensure excellence of service at CERN Public meeting – May 2013
