Section 1

Incentive pay is additional pay for the performance of hazardous duties.  The instructions and performance requirements are contained in the DoDFMR Volume7A. Regulations pertaining to detailing personnel to hazardous duties are contained in MCO 1000.6 and MCO 1326.2 for flying duty.  PRIUM Tables 9-1 through 9-7 prescribe the UD entries for the commencement, termination, or change of entitlement to incentive pay.

a.  Entitlement to incentive pay requires the issuance of competent orders directing the performance of hazardous duty. Orders are issued by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Commanding Generals, and Unit Commanders authorized by CMC. The orders specify the type of duty and whether or not the orders are permanent or temporary. Orders involving hazardous duties are classified as:

(1) Permanent Orders.  Orders that remain in effect until revoked or suspended. The orders are issued by the CMC to naval aviators, naval flight officers, or naval aviation pilots.  Permanent orders are not affected by transfer between stations.

(2) Temporary Indefinite Orders.  Orders that are issued to Marines for hazardous duties that will be performed for a period that is expected to exceed 1 month (crewmembers flight orders not less than 120 days).

(3) Temporary Definite Orders.  Orders that are issued to non-crewmembers for hazardous duty that will be performed for a period of 1 month or less. See MCO 1326.2 for additional information.

b.  All RUs must ensure that appropriate administrative action is taken to promptly report any change of status that affects entitlement HDIP. For Reserve Marines the period of HDIP entitlement or checkage being reported must equal or include dates within a previously or concurrently reported IDT or AD period for a Reservist.
