What is the assignment pay for FTOs on road?

• A. 10% flat
• B. 5% first year + 5% after completion of 3rd year
• C. 3% first year + 2% after 3rd year
• D. No assignment pay

Answer: (B)

The concept here is how assignment pay for road FTOs is structured as a staged recognition of the extra duties. The pay is a percentage of base pay, not a flat amount, and it increases only after certain service milestones are met. For road FTOs, you earn 5% of your base pay in the first year of the road assignment. After you complete three years in that on-road FTO role, you receive an additional 5%—bringing the total to 10% of base pay from that point forward. So, initially you’re at 5%, and once you’ve reached year four (i.e., after finishing the third year), the assignment pay becomes 10% of base pay. This explains why the staged approach is correct: it starts with a smaller increment and ramps up after a defined period, rather than giving a flat 10% from the start or a different split. For example, with a base pay of $60,000, the first year would yield $3,000 in assignment pay; after completing three years, the total assignment pay would be $6,000 annually (10% of base).
