In accordance with ST/AI/2020/6, staff members in the national or international categories appointed or assigned to a duty station in a danger pay location and have spent time inside that danger pay location are eligible to claim the monthly danger pay entitlement via Employee Self-Service (ESS). The Danger Pay form is not for staff members who travel to a Danger Pay location on Official Business, including travel days (TDY). For this scenario continue with the existing process of claiming via the Travel Claim form.

In a single month, for time spent outside of the parent danger pay location on rest and recuperation (including travel days), and/or, Official Business travel, the maximum number of days that the staff member can continue to receive Danger Pay is 7. These 7 days are cumulative within the calendar month and do not have to be consecutive.
