A diplomatic posting which either for its unhealthy climate, lack of amenities, inaccessibility or – especially today – physical danger, is deemed to be exceptionally ‘difficult’. For working at such posts diplomats are sometimes given compensations of different kinds, including special financial allowances varying according to the difficulty of the post. Until a few years ago the provision of extra pensionable periods was the normal form of compensation employed in the British Diplomatic Service. It was then replaced by a ‘Difficult Post Allowance (DPA)’. In the US Foreign Service the comparable allowances are called ‘post differentials’. Tours of duty in hardship posts may also be much shorter than usual. See also bid list. |
