Retro pay raises

[Trinity]

Title states it all....

I read something about pay raises being set back???

Anyone have any idea if / when we are getting a raise?

of course we don't do it for the money, we do it for the love....

 

[Korus]

Somewhere on this board there's a CANFORGEN that's been posted stating the retroactive pay will be delayed until the 15 April pay period. If another CANFORGEN has come out since that one, I don't know.

 

[Haggis]

That's it.  CANFORGEN 043/05 (25 Feb 05) is the latest one.  Nothing has come out to say were not still on track for 15 Apr pay.  The new rates are published on the DPPD web site, which is available through the Internet.

That retroactive pay raise in conjunction with my tax return are going to be a very nice thing to have as I break out from the starving student phase and break into the startving university graduate phase at the end of April

Can't wait 15 days?  It would all depend on how long you've been in your current rank amoung other things.

You're a reservist correct Padre? It'll be the difference between what you're making now and what's on the table I linked here times how many days you've worked since last Apr.

Due to the amount that reservists work, you won't be seeing nearly as much of a back pay as your Reg Force counter parts. As a Capt (Pilot) IPC 0 I'll be getting a little over 2 grand before taxes.

Now I feel old.  Thanks. 

 

[Inch]

Now I feel old.   Thanks.    

Why? Because you're one of the better 10 year Capts in the CF? 

I get my incentive tomorrow actually, so I'm not a newly minted Capt but pretty damn close.  ;D

 

[Gunner]

Because you're one of the better 10 year Capts in the CF?

As Michael Doresh has in his profile "Capt by the grace of God"....

Q: How much will I get?

A: You will get the difference in pay over the number of pay periods the retroactive period covers.  We were due for the last pay rise in April 2004, if I am not mistaken.

Therefore, if you are a reservist, you will get the difference between your 2004 pay, and the new pay rate, times the number of half-days and full-days you worked since April 2004 (or whenever they made it retroactive to).

If you are regular force, the pay rates are monthly, and the same idea applies.  The number of months since April 2004 until now, times the per-month raise you got.

That should give you a pretty good gross estimate.  They will, of course, make all the usual deductions (the big one being tax, and if you qualify for it, superannuation and other benefits).

The delay is likely due to the sheer size of the army and the amount of time it takes to calculate everybody's retro pay, confirm the payments and send them off to whereever the cheque's get printed, or in our case, to set them up for the April 15 pay deposit.


Be happy... at customs, we are getting our retro pay not in one lump sum, as in past years, but split over a number of pay periods over the next few months.  Which really sucks, since I was hoping to take a trip or something.

Basically, if you were a Cl B bum (guilty) or training last summer, you'll get a nice little bump on top of your tax return. Nothing huge, but it'll take care of MY visa bill at least (damn lemon of a car...)

I took a boo at my pay statement today (online) at the clerks

It appears to be in the mid month pay  - or else someone else put about $3400 extra in my account  :

So Kevin, you'll be buying the beer for this poor Capt later this week? 

 

[MJP]

Well I do think it's my turn to throw in a fair chunk of change for the beer....now to get it by the wife.

 

[KevinB]

Sounds good MJP


I can only guess what Gunner and MJP got - but I'd hazard a guess it was more than Cpl (4) took in....      :'(

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

$3400.  You doing some private work?

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Good luck Mike.

 

[KevinB]

Maybe my math was bad  ???.

I saw two numbers that where significantly higher than I usually get.  IIRC the message said Cpl (4)'s get about $3400 - and by my quick glance that is what it looked to me for what I'd be getting extra.
