  "account": "Administrative Circulars No. 2 (Rev. 8), No. 3 (Rev. 4) and No. 21 (I) (Rev. 4) have been revised by CERN's HR Department. These circulars cover important topics including recruitment, appointment and possible developments regarding staff contractual positions; home leave, travel to home station and travel for family reasons; and leave for family reasons and special leave. The revisions were approved by the Director-General and aim to align with amendments to the Staff Rules and Regulations on maternity, remunerated parental and unremunerated parental leave, which came into effect on July 1, 2026. The updates also apply retroactively to January 1, 2026, for staff members whose contracts were in place on the day of their child's birth. More information on these amendments can be found in a previous Bulletin.",
