For privacy, I am posting under a name I don't normally use. It is a name I actually created several years ago when I was pretty frustrated with my employer. Fortunately, this query comes from a much better place.

I am on the road in another country. I recently finished a mandatory 2 week quarantine and am now on site doing a startup. Today, my supervisor told me that he was wanting to push the company owners for extra compensation (similar to "hazard duty" pay) for employees who are required to quarantine in other countries prior to doing a startup.
This is the first anybody from our company has had to quarantine out of the country... but we have several more startups scheduled for later this year where this will be required again.
He wanted me to think about what I would consider to be fair. How would you respond if your supervisor asked you this question?
More info: I am on salary with no overtime or other travel perks or even comp time. I do know our customer is paying for the days in quarantine at 1/2 the daily rate the company normally charges. During quarantine, I stayed caught up on work-related questions and emails. I also worked on the drawings for my next project.
