Difficult to Staff Incentive Differential (also known as Service Need Differential)
Difficult-to-Staff
Incentive Differential (DTSID) is also known as Service Need Differential (SND): This differential is paid to an employee assigned to a post
with a Post Hardship Differential rate of 5% or higher, after an agency has
determined that especially adverse conditions of environment warrant additional
pay as a recruitment and retention incentive to fill the employee's position at
that post. The DTSID/SND is a
percentage of basic compensation (up to 15%). Check with your agency representative
for more information because each agency develops unique procedures to
implement this differential (or may choose not to implement it). Note that DTSID/SND and Danger Pay compensation together may not equal more than 35% of an
employee's basic compensation. General guidance can be found in DSSR 1000.
