Non-family Service Allowance (NFSA) is an incentive for staff to undertake assignments at non-family locations. The allowance recognizes the increased level of financial and psychological hardship incurred by involuntary separation from their families, including additional service-related costs. The allowance was previously known as Additional Hardship Allowance (AHA). NFSA is paid in addition to the normal hardship allowance.
