Bus/Financial - Human Resources / salary bonuses
Spanish term or phrase: penosidad
I am translating a form that lists the different salary bonuses an employee in Spain might receive:

nocturnidad, penosidad, turnicidad, flexibilidad

I think "penosidad" refers to having to work, for example, in noisy environments, but I don't know the English term for this. Thanks so much in advance, I know one of you geniuses will know this!!

Acá una sustentación más legal de un sitio más especializado. Creo se adapta a la definición en español que de penosidad aporté.
http://definitions.uslegal.com/h/hazard-pay/


Hazard pay means additional pay for performing hazardous duty or work involving physical hardship. Physical hardship means duty involving physical hardship which may not in itself be hazardous but which causes extreme physical discomfort and distress and which is not adequately alleviated by protective or mechanical devices; e.g., duty requiring exposure to extreme temperatures for a long period of time; duty involving arduous physical exertion when it is performed in cramped conditions; and duty involving exposure to fumes, dust, or noise which causes nausea or skin, eye, ear, or nose irritation.

neutral  David Ronder: Then your answer here should perhaps be hazardousness? But I have doubts about this - see my discussion point/ref. // Yes jairo it's possible, but as your own refs. also make clear, 'hazard' has extreme connotations.
32 mins
  -> What about Hazardous Duty Pay. See my reference.

agree  Ruth Ramsey: There are lots of hits for "hazard pay" on Google. Depends if "noise" is considered to be a work-related hazard.

Reference information:
RE: DEFINICIÓN DE PELIGROSIDAD Y PENOSIDAD

La penosidad en derecho laboral se refiere o equivale a la especial dificultad de una tarea , por requerir un esfuerzo superior al normal. Con frecuencia , los convenios colectivos toman en consideración la penosidad del puesto de trabajo , haciendole corresponder complementos salariales que se presumen no consolidables.



Se dice que un puesto de trabajo es peligroso cuando el operario desarrolla su trabajo en condiciones de riesgo superiores a lso normales de su trabajo como tal ( conductor de camion de mercancias peligrosas frente a conductor de otras mercancias ) .Basta con que el riesgo sea potencial y real , sin que obste la el hecho de adoptarse las medidas de seguridad oportunas.

Hazardous Duty Pay (HDP):

Determined by the HRO, involves additional pay to GS employees for the performance of hazardous duty or duty involving physical hardship. Hazardous duty means a duty performed under conditions in which an accident could result in serious injury or death. Duty involving physical hardship means duty that may not in itself be hazardous, but causes extreme physical discomfort or distress and is not adequately improved by protective or mechanical devices, such as duty involving exposure to extreme temperatures for a long period of time, difficult physical exertion, or exposure to fumes, dust, or noise that causes nausea, skin, eye, ear, or nose irritation.
