    Statement on discrepancies of benefits and allowances

    Have to laugh at para 7, yes our sweet pay and benefits package is supported by IMHO is shoddy outdated HR/payroll management system.  Let the CMP horse and pony show begin!  Time for their computer programming analysts to dust off the punchcards and the magnetic tape reels.

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    What boggles my mind is how the system is trying to recover 13 years when already a previous grievance cites a 6 year recovery limitation, and current tax laws permit 10 years max for adjustments after the former 6 year limit was bumped in 2004.  This is on top of what already has been brought...

    Sailor Derek de Jong and Other Ship Misconducts?

    Regardless of how A/HOD training is stressful or not, the conduct that this officer showed at the brow of his ship was downright inexcusable, and this was brought up in sentencing closing statement by the CM judge.  As was said in the CM, he did not wait the extra hour for the PA to secure a...

    Agreed.  I have a couple very well staffed ARs last fall and still await final dispositions from DMCA 2 & DPM Secur 2.

    HMCS Iroquois' woes (merged)

    Hull condition surveys are an ongoing process over a vessels life, and with IRO at 42 years old this should come to no surprise that hull issues will come up  (in this case a a 48M PM hull survey routine is still awaiting completion).  With the pay-off of the IROQUOIS expected sometime early...

    Professional Engineers - Ethical conflicts with military requirements?

    I am an EO and currently have paperwork in to get my PEng through APENS.  Just got back home from IRO after a OOD duty and today with a heavy night with load banks.  Below post is vague to keep OPSEC out. First, the PEng is a provincial designation and does not affect internal federal...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Agreed.  I wouldn't be so opposed to a Quebec posting then (... although it isn't much worse then NS)

    Signals Officer

    Similar to the above post.  Go on PEO's website, contact a mentor/PEO representative in your area, and have a meeting with him and inquire about Engineer-In-Training.  They will decide (Mentor/PEO) whether your current job entails engineering work (hint: engineers do not always do hard...

    Monitor Mass

    HRMS is a great RMS clerk tool (the Admin/Workforce client side I refer to), for the rest of us it won't do since we don't get to play with it / or the provided client software is extremely cumbersome to use unless you are RMS.  A frank opinion from a colleague of mine who managed NTO BTL, HRMS...

    Monitor Mass

    Replying to old thread on Monitor/MASS since the subject is the same. I see they added PER tracking to Monitor/MASS which is a great step forward from the unit to OTtawa level.  How about they incorporate the CFPAS Forms and even the CFPAS process itself into Monitor/MASS to save haggle over...

    DNDLearn & Your MPRR

    The self-enrollment courses will have an option to print a certificate of completion after you meet the passing requirements for the course involved (usually passing a final exam).  Print it out and take it to your section's training coordinator, they will input it into MITE/HRMS (or contact the...

    List of file numbers

    Thanks George and MCG for the corrective nudge!  Annoying how " Full SN (Pers)" is not mentioned officially (or its not easily found) in master file plans or DSCDS, however I did actually find a COTM for Flog(Halifax) in a DIN search that reinforces this practice.  I have some strike throughs I...

    T4`s or equivalent

    This is what I fired off to HRIC after doing a quick forensics on the PDF file EMAA tosses out. Problem: The new EMAA feature rolled out today called, "My Income Statement" (for generating svc mbr T4s), has a broken PDF generation and gives out a currupted PDF file. The PDF files contents have...

    List of file numbers

    Ref: DSCDS ( http://img-apps.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/DSCDS/splash.aspx ) Ok, like the others said, go to your unit OR and ask them for their file plan for memos first and also a memo template. If they do not have a topic listed, then take the worst case catch all, 1000-1 (surname followed by last...

    High power bill???

    Here is a measure for you guys in Nova Scotia. My NSPower bill was $908 for this billing cycle this year, and of that I estimate $700 of it was heat. Sadly it's better than the $1100 monster I got last year and this year I had the bank account more than ready for it.  January 1st is when they...
