I've heard rumours from credible sources that a CANFORGEN on pay is to be released today (30 Mar 12).  Has anyone seen it?  Can you post a copy here?  Unfortunately, I don't have DWAN access at the moment.
 
Nothing on DGC&B yet.

ETA:  No change to the CBIs yet either.
 
In the spirit of this most auspicious event, I two have heard a rumour. To make up for the lack of "Cost of Living Increase" since 2010, the new CBI will reflect an 8% graduated increase back dated to 1 April 2010.









Before taking out that mortgage, check your calendar for what day Sun is...
 
8% seems rather high, as a benchmark that is approx. $378/month increase for Standard, IPC 4 Cpl/LS  :o
 
he's not getting it.............. ::)

Hmm.. someone makes a post about "April 1st".  I'm thinking - and it's a stretch here - that it might just be a joke.


Given PSAC got 5.25% over three years (1.75%, 1.5% and 2%) after surrendering their severance pay I'd expect the CF increase to be very similar.
 
Haven't heard of anything about a canforgen on pay....  8% does seem rather high....
 
CANFORGEN is there now.  I'm trying to format it from the copy/paste to readable form here to post.

Wasn't this covered on CTAT?  ;D
 
I smell something funky.

And it is not one of my kids off loading last nights Chili into the Diaper...

 
Not sure why, but I couldn't get it to post, BUT...I was able to send it to the OP in a PM.  Stand by to stand by!!!

The raise will disappear when they up our pension contributions!
 
Hopefully it's enough to keep a hypothetical 4-year Cpl, whose personal choices have left him, wife and multiple kids oppressively tied to PMQs in another thread, off of suicide watch.

If I understand correctly, our severance pay will cease, but instead of being calculated for 3.5 days per year of service, it will be calculated for 7 days per year of service with the 3 options highlighted by dapaterson on page 1 of this thread.

Reservists go from 3.5 to 7.  Regs always were at 7.
 
Hmmm
It hasn't shown in my BB and I have a "Don't f*** with me" app.
...believe half of what you see and less of what you hear...but ....

Except that now everyone gets 7 days per year of service up to Feb 2012; until now, those with under 10 years would have got nothing.  And given the heavy turn over in the Reg F after the initial engagement or second engagement, with folks frequently not reaching 10 years, it's a nice bonus for those junior folks who otherwise would never have qualified.
 
Now I'm curious as to whether I can combine my reserve service (way back in the stone age) in with my regular force service to max out entitlement.
