Other grades at ECMWF
Steps are earned by time served, not negotiated — a year per step at the bottom of the grade and two years per step higher up, so the top step shown is a destination rather than an offer. ECMWF pays no figure for countries it does not operate in, and there are only these three.
ECMWF is one of the six Co-ordinated Organisations, which adjust pay by a shared method rather than a shared scale — so grade B3 here has no counterpart at another of the six. How Co-ordinated Organisation pay works.
This is not a UN common-system salary. ECMWF sets its own pay, so there is no post adjustment and no ICSC scale behind this grade — it cannot be compared with a P-4 or a GS-6 without accounting for the difference in basis.
