Gratis personnel may not be sought or accepted as a substitute for staff to be recruited against posts authorized for the implementation of mandated programmes and activities.
Gratis personnel may not supervise staff members in the exercise of their official duties or be involved in decisions affecting the status, rights and entitlements of staff members. Exceptionally, however, gratis personnel having managerial responsibilities may supervise staff members who provide direct support to them. Gratis personnel may not apply for or be appointed to posts in the Secretariat for a period of six months after the end of their service. This restriction was put in place by the General Assembly and therefore, the head of entity cannot approve a waiver under their authority to approve exceptions to Administrative Instructions.
