How to request a payment as a serving UN Volunteer.

Serving UN Volunteers are entitled to request payments related to their service, whenever covered by the UNV Conditions of Service.

To do so, go to the Assignments tab.

Click on your assignment to open it.

When in the Assignment Details page, click on Request Payment.

Fill out the required information in the form. 

Select the type of payment related to your request from the dropdown menu. 

Fill out the other fields, such as the claimed amount, the currency, and other information.

The more information and the clearer it is, the easier it is to review the request. If any information is unclear, or not supported by a clear document, the request may be returned to you, causing delays in the processing of the payment.

Upload documents to your request by using this function. 

Again, make sure the correct document, or documents, are uploaded, such as the invoice or invoices. This will make it easier and faster for your request to be reviewed.


Payment requests cannot be processed without a supporting document!

To upload your document first choose the file and then click on upload.
