Standard kanji spelling for 'mediation fee' or 'agent's charge'.
Mixed kana-kanji spelling; the kanji 斡 is not in the Jōyō set, so this form is sometimes used for readability.
Compound of 斡旋 (あっせん, 'mediation') and 料 (りょう, 'fee'). The kanji 斡 is relatively rare and not part of the Jōyō kanji list, so the word is sometimes written with kana as あっせん料.
