UNOPS and Human Resources Individual contractor administration What we offer: Issuance and extension of Individual Contractor Agreements (ICAs) Flexible and cost-effective contract types with a duration from one hour to five years Compensation and benefit administration Recruitment and selection Pre-employment screening “ A very efficient UNOPS team has undertaken the contract and payment administration for UNHCR affiliate personnel in the Asia-Pacific region over the past five years. This important support has enhanced our organization’s ability. ” Maria Aurora Mendoza-Goudstikker, Senior Regional Administrative/Finance Officer, The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) UNOPS recruits personnel and handles contract administration for UNHCR in 16 countries. Individual contractor administration UNOPS has developed a specialized contract modality, the Individual Contractor Agreement (ICA), to fit the needs of the projects we implement and the partners we support. The standard cost of an ICA is considerably lower than the proforma cost of staff positions, while individual contract holders often enjoy higher take home pay and basic benefits. Recruiters determine wages by using a fee-setting tool, which identifies comparable salary ranges for the position. The salary is fixed for the duration of the contract, which could range from one hour up to five years. The ICA is the most highly sought-after human resources product among UNOPS partners. This type of contract is easy to understand, quick and non-bureaucratic to administer and provides fair and basic benefits to contract holders, which can be adjusted in line with our partners’ needs and budget constraints. The ICA is available in two categories: support and specialist, and is offered as an international or national contract. UNOPS issues and administers the ICA on behalf of its partners in a variety of sectors and industries. The contract is suitable for short-term or temporary employment, for jobs limited by a project’s duration or for roles unrelated to the primary focus of the organization.
