    Transfer of CF Pension to the Public Service Plan

    Yes you can, also once you do this the PS will treat you as a 17 year member WRT leave.  I thought I would get more leave than the 15 days that I got and found out that I would have had to transfer my pension over (did the math and it made no sence).  As for how you go about making it happen, I...

    Retired Service?

    As for the time of the pension cheque to come, a buddy and I happened to get out at the same time (13 Jul), however I did the retirement leave thing for 30 days (13 Aug was my day).  He got his first cheque in the mail at the end of Sep, I figure I should see something at the end of Oct or if...

    Better system instead of Cl A pay sheets

    I'm sorry I'm not familure with the sheets you talk about.  But as a Groupheadquarters we have all of our attendance sheets from when the unit stood up in 99. I would suggest talking to your unit and getting them to check the archives, I know for reg force pay records they have to hold on to...

    Better system instead of Cl A pay sheets

    One simple sign in sheet should do.  Then the pay clerks put that into the RPSR system and you treat that system as the pay record, just like the CCPS(reg force pay). How do you control it? Simple, role calls then someone signs saying all pers attended. Then that sheet goes to the Pay clerk...

    Sea Pay Navy - Needs to be changed

    Does anyone remember the days when you would leave the Garrison in Shilo at 0615hrs and leave the guns out in the training area with a guard on them and you would return to the Garrison around 2300hrs and get told to be back at 0530hrs for a 0615 departure?  They would do this for a 4 day stint...

    Pay FY 07/08

    Currently I am moving over to the Public Service (starting in 2 weeks  ;D) I asked if we had a strike looming and the reply from my HR Rep was that the union and the Govt Reps (TB?) have already started talking (few weeks ago) this is a first as they usually don't sit until after a contract is...
