謝金

English translation: (other) compensation

02:30 Feb 22, 2009
Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Anthropology
Japanese term or phrase: 謝金
On list describing the different types of "fees" that a person could incur in order to perform a survey project. Other fees include transportation fees, lodging fees, etc. This is money that is paid to someone, I guess maybe if they help with the survey... introduce the researcher to someone...

Any good term for this?

English translation:(other) compensation
Explanation:
The meaning seems pretty vague so an equally vague English word could be appropriate.

agree  KNielsen: I think this correctly conveys the idea that the money's function is to "thank" someone--it is distinct from regular salary/compensation.
