Report on the Implementation of a Local Staff (LS) Category

At its meeting on 22 June 2003, Council approved a revised proposal by the Management (document CERN/2499/Rev.) concerning the introduction of Local Staff (LS). During the preceding discussions by Finance Committee and TREF, it was agreed that the management would present an implementation report summarising the recruitment process and first experience. The present report provides the requested information with emphasis on recruitment and retention aspects. The review of employment conditions for Local Staff is the subject of a separate report to be prepared in the framework of the 5-yearly review. The Finance Committee is invited to take note of this report, which was presented at TREF on 16 February 2006.
