PAY & BENEFITS for

FEDERAL CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES in COMBAT ZONES [12 April 2010]

http://www.opm.gov/combatzones/index.asp

 

Welcome

 

Special pay and benefits apply to eligible civilian Federal employees assigned to duty in certain combat zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor administer many of the pay and benefits programs provided to Federal civilian employees working in overseas locations, including combat zones. Pay and benefits may vary depending on the employee’s pay system, assignment location, scope and nature of duties, and nature of assignment. Please check with your agency’s local human resources office to verify the benefits that apply to you.

Pay and Benefits for Federal Civilian Employees in Combat Zones

 

We at OPM are committed to recruiting, retaining, and honoring a world-class workforce to serve the American people. This commitment includes doing all we can to help ensure that deployed civilians receive fair and accurate compensation and benefits in a timely way.

 

Below is a brief list of some of the major authorities currently available to agencies that may help attract and retain Federal civilians in a combat zone.
