Please note the form is not automatically verified with already recorded or pending absences and attendances and it is the staff member’s responsibility to make the entries based on the presence or absence in the duty station.
Please note that although the form entries are not automatically verified and the payment is made based on the self-certified entries, the Human Resources Section has the monitoring tools available to verify the form’s entries against the time, travel and payroll records. Some of the monitoring checks include, but not limited to, as follows:
- The payroll danger pay amount for a period of Month/Year is added with any possible danger pay expense from Travel and the total is compared with the staff’s danger pay monthly rate, if the total danger payment (from payroll and travel) exceeds the monthly rate the staff’s records will be audited.
- The records of Home Leave calendar days expected to be equal or less than “no danger pay days”, if not the staff member’s records will be further checked.
- Staff members, especially international, who have not had records of “no danger pay days” within 3 months, will be highlighted for further checks. The dangerous locations usually have R&R and are likely, but not required, not to be present in their parent dangerous duty station at least once within any given 3 months period.
