Introduction
FAO offers a dynamic and multicultural work environment; staff from over 100 countries specializing in diverse fields provide a truly international workplace.
Professional Growth
FAO offers countless staff development opportunities, including group training, workshops and individual training courses. FAO also uses a performance management module which helps staff members achieve their yearly goals and encourages career growth within the organization.
Mobility
Since FAO’s work is global our staff should be too; that is why FAO has a staff mobility programme which enables and encourages staff to move around both geographically and to different functions within their duty station.
FAO adheres to the UN common system of salaries, allowances and benefits. To view the UN salary scales in the professional category. For detailed information on salaries and allowances, please refer to the UN Common System Salaries and Allowances Booklet.
Base salary
The base salary is determined by the post grade and by the existence of any dependants. Base salary is expressed in U.S. dollars and is payable mainly in local currency.
Post adjustment
The base salary is supplemented by a post adjustment which varies according to the cost of living in the duty station and the exchange rate of the United States dollar. The post adjustment, set by the United Nations as a percentage of the base salary, guarantees staff members the same purchasing power in every duty station by stabilizing the monthly salary paid in local currency.
Tax exemption
Salaries, grants and allowances paid by FAO are in most cases exempt from national income tax.
Hardship allowance
At some duty stations, a hardship allowance linked to living and working conditions is also paid.
Benefits
