A stipend is a fixed, regular payment, usually meant to pay for something specific. It's kind of like an allowance, but for grownups â a college scholarship might include a stipend each semester for books, for example.
Allowances and differentials are paid as a percentage of an employeeâs hourly rate of basic pay for those hours which the employee receives basic pay. With few exceptions, payment of allowances and differentials while an employee is absent from the post continues only if the employee returns to duty status in the area.
