Been on IR and you need that money for food or you will be taking food off your families table . You can't buy a club pack of whatever and put it in the deep freeze in your one bedroom apartment so you have to buy one item for the same price that four would cost you. Initally when the amount you...

Get your promotion message, the effective date is when you will get paid from. Not when you were eligible. I am in a similar situation waiting for my WO,  Because of where I am posted I have been passed over and will not be promoted until late fall, even though I should have been made in April I...

When was this established? I have been on three tours and not once has this happened. We got intial briefing about where we would be etc., more for the family unit. Then left, then came back. There was supposed to be a followup now that I remember but my unit cancelled it as we were getting...

Not sure how the sub program was deferred or defunded, everytime we had work that had to be done by dockyard workers on an operational ship that was ramping up for a Gulf tour we had lower priority to submarine work. Believe me I have nothing against subs, I served proudly on Ojibwa for ten...

I wouldn't say that deployments have end dates. I have been on several that have had no end date. We were just told we may be home in 8 months time or longer or shorter.

Yep still waiting for my CD1 due in Oct 2010, and my SWASM bars did my third tour in 2008.

From PSAC website "Q: Is the payment in lieu of severance based on acting pay or the pay of my substantive position? A: Substantive. As shown in the ratifications kits for the PA, SV and EB votes the clause of the severance pay article in the new collective agreement (PA:63, SV:61, EB:24)...

I would love to go home every time I am on leave. But 600 dollars plus tax to fly home I cannot afford. LTA is only offered once per year. I was saying the CBI contradicts itself by saying SE should be ceased even when on special leave. I cannot fly home for one day or a weekend every month, my...

What about when you are forced to burn leave off and cant go home? Is it fair for SE not to be collected then? Or how about when you are on special leave because you worked a Saturday? I agree with not paying when you are on leave at home. When I first took leave I brought me leave pass in...

What about the late 80's and 90's. Pay incentives frozen no pay raises.

First thanks for the replies and points of view. We have reached an understanding at the unit now regarding day staff and Reg force. And it appears to be fair , I think, to everyone. It has command support so that is the main thing. I really enjoy working at this unit and don't want to spend the...

I do come in on every training night, and mentor when I can if there is people there to do so.

OK how about when you are operational. 24/7 for up to 8 months. Are they going to pay overtime for that?

Starting to make some headway with this issue. One of the sticking points is that keeps arising is the argument that Class A pers that come in do not get time off there regular job. My argument is that they are compensated by being paid while they are in during their off time. I also raise...

Once you get to the fleet school as the Div PO/MS to contact the career manager regarding submarine service. It is constantly changing based on manning requirements. Most trades are LS QL5 minimum standard with the exception of (Mar Eng and Mar El this may have changed as well). Whenever you...

"Bingo. Don't tell me the extra $250 a month you get as sea pay makes the difference for the extra working hours; you put those hours in because you believe in your job and because everyone understands it to be normal. The real problem here is that you arrived at your new unit believing that you...

I have been talking with a few they appear to be using CTO for the evening and weekends. Which is fair, I think.

Typo one saturday a month

Hey Pat, right now there are no Reg Force in the command team. I am not saying that I don't want to put the time in but I would like some time to my family and myself. Right now reg force are expected to be there for every unit event even though we may not be directly involved with it. I feel...

Currently posted to a reserve unit. Love the job and the unit. However one concern is working hours. They have Monday and Wednesday training/admin nights from 1900-2200 and one Saturday a week. The CO at the unit informed me that I am not a public servant and am expected to be at all unit events...
