2.9.1. Hire an ex-UNDP Staff Member as a UN Volunteer


Atlas Role:      Human Resources Administrator

Responsible:  UNV Field Unit Programme Assistants/UNDP Focal Points at the Country Office

Description:    The new UN Volunteer is a former staff member who already has a staff member index number in ATLAS HCM. The new UN Volunteer assignment should be under a completely new Contingent Worker ID (begins with N and has 9 digits) and therefore please ensure that a new Contingent Worker ID is generated in this scenario.

!

This procedure applies even if under the former staff member’s index number there is a previous UN Volunteer assignment assigned to it in ATLAS HCM.

Please contact UNV HQ Portfolio Associate and your Regional Payroll Associate in Copenhagen for further guidance.
