What do you think of "allowance/s", folks? It covers both concepts - "commitment" (it's a regular payment) and "remuneration" (it is). Does anyone else agree?
MargaBBB (asker) Mar 17, 2010:
Hi, David, unfortunately the text also talks about remuneration for this "dedicación" so ... maybe there's not just one word here.

commitment

I think it refers to the kind of job the employee takes, full time, part time or else. It will carry a remuneration attached, but if I'm not misreading the text refers to the job itself.
