Piper said:Despite this topic being a good 10 days, I thought I'd clarify something. To get 'sweet pay', you don't have to be in the 'Mo for 3 years and three full class B summers. I was in for just under a year with no class B time and I'm getting more then double what a 'normal' OCdt would make (I clear about $2800 a month after taxes).
If anyone is interested I can find the CBI I used to justify (and eventually receive) getting the proper pay.
EDIT: The CBI ref I used was 204.211(10)(b) found at http://www.forces.gc.ca/dgcb/cbi/pdf/CBI_204_Sec_2.pdf
That was the ref used to justify me getting the amount I get now. Multiple ROTP types who joined from the 'Mo with less then a year in got vastly better pay, so don't just let it slide, you probably are entitled to it if you have at least finished BMQ.
Radcliffe said:That's the reference they used to decrease my pay, see I'm going from reserve officer to reg force officer, so that particular paragraph doesn't apply to me and I don't think there's anything I can do. Oh well.
Piper said:What rank were you as a reserve officer? Something doesn't seem right about your situation.
Radcliffe said:Officer Cadet. I'm CAP qualified now with like 15 months in. I hope they have me doing phase 3 infantry this summer but that seems a little bit iffy.
Piper said:Ah. Well if you were an OCdt before then it makes sense that you would be getting OCdt pay now. I.e. I was a PRes Pte and transfered into the RegF as an OCdt, therefore even though I am an OCdt I am getting Pte pay because thats the pay I would have gotten had I transferred into the RegF as my previous rank. You were an OCdt before and therefore, you are receiving the RegF pay for your previous rank (like I'm getting RegF pay for my previous rank). At least that how it seems to me.
How long were you a OCdt in the PRes and how long have you been in ROTP?
SMP said:Don't give up though! If you ever in the coming months (or next summer on courses) find somebody in your situation who is getting paid differently (as for being an OCdt in the PREs), bring it up to your CoC.
