Benefits Offered While Working At The United Nations
The United Nations offers you an attractive remuneration package with a competitive pay and benefit.
Apart from the normal remuneration like medical which every employee is entitled to, a housing allowance is offered to employees. This will depend on whether it’s an employee who is nationally or internationally recruited.
Kenyan employees are entitled to a housing allowance amounting to 10% of their salaries as opposed to internationally recruited staff members who do not enjoy that privilege.
The Organization also caters for the travel expenses of its staff members who are off on official duties depending on the location.
Women are the luckiest who enjoy special privileges as employees of the international organization. For a maternity leave, they are given special treatment when resuming to work. This entails having an extra 2 hour rest in the normal work routine.
UN Salaried Benefits Offered To Kenyan Employees
When it comes to the salary, every year, employees are entitled to a salary raise based on their different groups and categories. This means that as the salary increases, so does the level of professional qualification.
Lastly, the United nations gives its employees a chance to work in a diverse environment to the extent that they are allowed to choose their dressing code.
While most of us are used to a strict dress code that allows casual clothing only on Fridays, the UN is very different. Employees at the United Nations do not have a strict dressing code as long as the employees are decent.
