I am a staff member at HQ in New York. If I go on a mission assignment for a year I understand I will be installed in the mission duty station. What does installment entail?

Installment involves a change of duty station with payment of salary and allowances applicable to the duty station. A staff member assigned to a mission duty station for one year will be installed and be eligible for payment of assignment grant, shipment of personal effects, post adjustment, rental subsidy, and mobility and hardship allowance at rates applicable to the mission duty station. Effective 1 July 2011, staff members serving in non-family duty stations will be paid an additional hardship allowance. The amount is between $500 and $1900 per month depending on the staff member’s level and dependency status.
