Eight Factors That Can Affect Your Pay

8. Hazardous working conditions


In certain jobs, workers are expected to perform tasks under dangerous working conditions. Dangerous working conditions can be defined to include anything from handling dangerous chemicals in a research facility to walking a police beat in a dangerous section of town. Jobs that fall into this category are usually regulated by outside authorities, including labor unions and the government.

Negotiation tip: Ask for hazard pay if you are put on a temporary assignment in a dangerous location.
