If a staff member served at a duty station in a danger pay location in the past year from the current date, the HR Partner will be able to process the *Danger Pay form * on behalf of the staff member upon receipt of a signed paper form.
HR Partners can complete the online form and update data in previously submitted forms for periods exceeding one year.
HR Administrators cannot perform on behalf of functions for periods older than three months. A signed paper form must be sent to an HR Partner for processing.
The Danger Pay form is always created for a single month/year period (For example: from 1 January to 31 January 2021 is a single form for the month/year period 01/2021). HR Partners and HR Administrators will always have access to the entire calendar month range to process the Danger Pay form on behalf of a staff member, regardless of how many days in a month/year that staff member spent assigned to a duty station in a danger pay location.
The Danger Pay form is not to be used for staff members who travel to dangerous pay locations on official business, including TDY. For this scenario, continue with the existing process of claiming danger pay via the Travel Claim form.
