Uplift pay for contractors in Iraq refers to additional compensation provided to workers, typically in high-risk or challenging environments. This extra pay is designed to account for the dangers and hardships associated with working in conflict zones, such as security threats, harsh living conditions, and the potential for long hours. Uplift pay can significantly increase a contractor's overall earnings, reflecting the increased risk and responsibility of their roles. The specific amount can vary based on the contractor's position, experience, and the nature of the work.
As far as I can tell, the Army no longer has forces in Iraq, but there are still Marine Corp installations in Iraq, and a large number of private security contractors.
Whatever the employer offers, but it is usually based on the DoS tables. For AFGHANISTAN it is often 35/35 sInce that is the current govt rate. I have seen as low as 25/25, particularly since contract ceilings have been falling and salaries are declining significantly.
Yes, all contractors even brick paving contractors are required to be licensed in the state of Arizona. You simply pay a fee to get your license.
Individual contractors are paid by the company which contracts them, not by the government. As they are not W2 employees, the companies are the ones who determine the pay rate.
Yes when you are the employer and the contractors are your employees that would be correct W-2 reporting would be required for each employee.
Do private contractors in Iraq count as soldiers?
There is no set pay scale for contractors.

IIRC, DHL had that contract for mail services, and all the civilians associated with mail carrier and mail services for the US forces in Iraq were contractors, and not actual employees of the US Postal Service. US citizens working as civilian contractors over there could make between $80,000 - $120,000 in a year, but just as often, the contractors subcontracted their work to local and other regional companies, whose employees were paid considerably less.
