Why vote List N°10 — precise knowledge of the Staff Regulations and confidential support at every stage (appraisals, mobility, promotions, disciplinary inquiries and harassment reports). Your statutory reflexes: teleworking (1 day/week on notification, 2 days/week with management agreement), the promotion "2-point" rule and the thresholds per grade (AD 12: 10 pts · AST 9: 8 pts · Grade 11 FG III: 10 pts), and the AST → AD crossover pitfall that resets your accumulated merit points to zero.

Daily reflexes from the 2026 R&D Handbook: teleworking as a right (1 day/week, non-refusable), 12 medical-certificate-free sick days, 11 consecutive rest hours in any 24h, mobility at 6 years, monthly allowances (expatriation 16%, household, foreign-residence 4%), 2 annual merit points, no national tax on EU salary — and the R&D reflex to never face a procedure alone.
