CERN has recently updated its Administrative Circular No. 26, now in its revised version 13, which outlines guidelines for recognizing staff merit. This revised edition was sanctioned by the Director-General and is now accessible via the following link. The primary amendment to the circular concerns the calculation of salary increases following probation periods.
Under the new provisions, personnel who successfully complete their probationary phase are entitled to a salary boost equivalent to 0.75% of the midpoint of their grade level. This revised framework came into effect on June 1, 2026, with application dating back to January 1, 2026. It supersedes the previous version, Administrative Circular No. 26 (Rev. 12), which was issued in January 2021.
