This week’s spotlight

💰️ The latest article “Understanding Reclassification in EU Civil Service” explains how the EU institutions use a structured system of reclassification—distinct from traditional private-sector promotions—to advance staff within the same function group (such as an official moving from AD 5 to AD 6) based on seniority, performance evaluations, and available budget.

It describes the annual and highly regulated process which includes eligibility checks, merit-based assessment, a formal proposal by the Director, appeals through the Joint Reclassification Committee, and final decisions—emphasizing that reclassification is the only method that increases pay in the EU civil service. 💶
