The HR Operations Unit’s programme of work includes all operational aspects of the Section, from on-boarding to the administration of salaries, benefits and entitlements for staff members and non-staff (including judges, SSA consultants and contractors). The Unit plans, organises and administers staff services such as health insurance, pension schemes and other social security. The Unit supports the administration and settlement of (HR-related) staff complaints and grievances. The Unit is responsible for the maintenance of related staff data in the Court’s Enterprise Resource Planning system, including staff master data.

The HR Organisational Development Unit is in charge of devising strategies, programmes and policies to ensure that the Court hires and develops the right staff and thus maximizes the return on investment in human resources.
