If-not-in-eServices,-how-to-apply-for-Compensatory-Time-Off-or-Compensatory-Day-Off

A. CTO and CDO are not yet in eServices and you would therefore need to apply using a paper form. If the request is for CTO and for over-time you should attach the request for over-time.

Please note that CTO and CDO are slightly different.

CTO applies only for local staff whereas CDO applies to IP staff members when traveling on official business on non-working days and UN holidays. CTO is also used for over-time for local staff. The CDO/CTO should be exercised within 4 months of return of travel.

Please read the POPP on Route, Mode of Transportation, and Standard of Accommodation​:

”Actual travel time spent by a staff member during a normal working day shall not be charged to annual leave.

A staff member shall be granted a compensatory day off if required to travel on a non-working day from the duty station to a place of mission. This compensatory day off may be exercised immediately after that non-working day or within four months of return to the duty station. For example, if a staff member is required to travel on Sunday to enable him/her to attend a meeting on Monday, one day of compensatory day off shall be given to the staff member. If it is necessary for the return travel to also take place on a non-working day, the staff member shall be allowed another compensatory day off. If the compensatory day off on the outbound travel was not taken immediately after the non-working day, it can be taken separately or together with the compensatory day off for the return travel in which case the two compensatory days off can be taken on two consecutive days upon completion of the entire journey.”​
