Staff Contract Policy

The current contract policy, foreseeing limited-duration (LD) contracts of a maximum period five years, was implemented in 2009, shortly prior to the LHC becoming fully operational.

Following five years of experience recruiting under this policy, and with one complete LHC machine cycle of shutdown and operation, a full review of this policy was carried out in 2014.

The review concluded that the policy could be enhanced by allowing additional flexibility, particularly in the following areas:

External Activity Guidelines

Following the entry into force of the “Integrity at CERN” document, in which the Organization’s conflict of interest policy is elaborated, a working group convened by the Director-General has established a set of guidelines to clarify the framework applicable to employed members of the personnel (MPEs) who wish to engage in a professional, commercial or political activity outside the Organization.

Integrity @ CERN

In 2014, a working group was established to develop a policy on conflict of interest at CERN and to review the related obligations under Article S I.3.13 of the Staff Regulations. The group was composed of the Director of Administration and General Infrastructure, the Heads of the Human Resources Department, Internal Audit and the Legal Service, as well as other representatives from these services.
