How do I receive field or shipboard pay, and what is it based
on?
Field assignment compensation is paid for trips to registered field
projects of 14 days or more. A trip of less than 14 days does not
qualify for field pay; one of 14 days or more receives field pay
from the first day. Field pay is paid via Payroll, to employees
only, at the rate of 1/2 of the Meals & Incidentals Per Diem
for the traveler's usual work location (where they have their office).
Shipboard pay is received every day the traveler is on a ship during
a field project at a rate of $50.00 per day. Field pay is not paid
during the days that shipboard pay is received.
