Danger Pay
"Danger pay" is additional compensation provided to employees who work in hazardous conditions or locations. This extra pay is intended to compensate for the increased risks associated with their job, such as exposure to violence, disease, or extreme environments. It is commonly offered to military personnel, humanitarian workers, and employees in conflict zones.
The amount of danger pay can vary based on the level of risk and the specific circumstances of the job. Organizations like the United Nations and various government agencies often have guidelines to determine eligibility and the rate of danger pay for their staff working in high-risk areas.
