All salaries are paid on-board in U.S. currency, usually in cash. If you are paid by cheque, you can cash it on-board via the Chief Purser or the on-board Banker. Your salary depends on the position you hold and will commence on the first day stated on your Employment Contract. You are not eligible for overtime pay nor will any additional compensation be offered for other activities related to the operation of the ship (see Rules & Regulations).

Since you are not eligible for State unemployment or disability insurance, no such withholding or contributions will be made.
