Danger Pay

------

Purpose

Danger pay is a special allowance established for internationally and locally recruited staff who are required to work in locations where very dangerous conditions prevail, comprising the following:
Duty stations where United Nations staff, owing to the very fact of their association with, or employment by, an organization of the United Nations common system, are clearly, persistently and directly targeted or where premises are clearly, persistently and directly targeted, thus presenting an imminent and constant threat to staff and activities;

Duty stations where United Nations staff or premises are at high risk of becoming collateral damage in a war or active armed conflict;

Non-protected environments where medical staff are specifically at risk to their life when deployed to deal with public health emergencies as declared by the World Health Organization.

Duration

Danger pay may normally be granted for periods of up to three consecutive months. The application of danger pay is lifted when dangerous conditions are deemed to have abated.

Eligibility

The allowance is payable as a monthly sum to internationally-recruited and locally recruited staff whenever staff are present in the qualifying location, whether or not staff are required to report to duty at a UN office.
