Also don't forget the (very) rare CLASS A Route letter..... :stirpot:

SOPs for submitting paysheets vary from unit to unit - make it clear to the troops that the way your unit handles the workflow is not necessarily the same as in the next unit they will be in. In most Army units, paysheets will be put out for the start of any training activities. It's the one-offs for taskings that cause headache, more often than not.
No. Wrong. Completely wrong. You can go on TD on class A - I've done it frequently. Travel status is not related to employment status. Only if the period of employment is 14 days or more will you be placed on class B.
Follow-up should go to both clerical staff and chain of command - clerical staff for the info; CoC to keep them informed so if the claim is delayed they can swing in at higher levels, if needed - and will have the trail of what transpired.
FreeFloat said:Ahem..... 12 days. Reference CMP 20/04 etc etc. On the 13th consecutive day, the whole period MUST be converted over into Class B. (I've seen it happen)

Having a resource like this primer would have saved me a ton of confusion & frustration, I'll tell you what.
I really hope this, (or something like it) finds it's way into the hands of new Reservists.
Brihard said:It just friggin' astounds me that during the course of my basic training I received a formal lecture on how to shave my face, but not on how the pay system works.
SGT-RMSCLK said:The main reason is that we are dealing with kids, 17 to 20, who only parade once a week and every other weekend. They don't remember this stuff when an issue arises.
SGT-RMSCLK said:Yes, there are some bad clerks out there. I know cuz I fired a couple. Amalgamation didn't help either. But the majority are not. Believe it or not we are human and we do screw up from time to time. But we do try hard to make sure all 24 pay cheques a year are correct, and that claims are finalized quickly and accurately.
Hammer Sandwich said:I call supreme, ultimate, infinity, no take-backs bullsh!t.
SGT-RMSCLK said:Really? What are you? Two?
At 26 you had some life experience. I would hope you would know better. I'm talking about young people in school or just graduated with out a schmik how the real world works.
Hammer Sandwich said:Y'know what, you're right.
To hell with'em. Since some folks aren't going to be bright enough to pay attention to something like Brihard has come up with, screw 'em all.
No point in even bothering trying to help them.

Never saw any need to change the rules just the attitude of the aircrew.
Well done Brihard!Brihard said:I added the percentage figure for PILL, clarified the class B route letter/SOU =/= legal contract issue, added a paragraph about how annual leave works, and a few other little tweaks. I've split allowances into a new section, and added transportation assistance- do I have the term correct?
Here's the new version. I'll go back and update previous links.
JMesh said:Brihard, I commend you on putting together such a great resource for new members. It is a complicated system (as many of the posts here show), and you have distilled it down to the basics that most members need to know.
One point that I noticed to fix though is on page 3, under Rank and IPC. Class A and Class B are both paid using the same daily rate. Class C is the pay calculated at a monthly rate, and it comes through CCPS rather than RPSR.
