Instructors allowance for example is only paid when you are either attached to a training Unit or your a member of the training Unit.

In spite of the fact that NCOs in "non-training" units do far more instructing than those in "training" units.

All allowances are in addition to Basic Pay (most of these allowances are only paid to PDF):

For example:
a Pte 3* on the 2nd point on the scale
€505.08

MSA (few than 3 years service)
Allowances
€42.69

Group 1 Tech Pay (eg he is a driver)
€ 8.30

Is proficient in a foreign language (rate 3)
€ 18.01

On an overseas mission (Overseas Peace Support Allowance)
€ 398.51 (€ 56.93 x 7)

It is an armed overseas mission (Overseas Armed Peace Support Allowance - Daily)
€ 161 (€23.00 x 7)

Total = € 1133.59 (Gross before deduction & tax)

MSA is equivaliant to "overtime" in Civvie Street.. We get it Home and O/S.

[Truck Driver]

AFAIK only while on your tour, ie 4 / 6 / 12 months

No, I think MSA is payable at home. dunno about while overseas though
