Do not expect anything for another 3 - 4 years... It is a nice backpay when it happens!

I'd rather have the money on time....when it comes as backpay, it is a nice chunk, however, not getting an annual increase along the way means that each year our salaries lose buying power against the economy due to inflation. Additionally, we don't see any interest included with the money we receive as backpay, so basically, you're losing money.
*shrug* I'd rather see an annual cost of living increase, but understand that it's not how things work in this world. We have been tied (in a way) to PSAC for our pay raises.

Actually, cost of living is the only thing our pay increases ever are. Annual increases to pay rates are never about "attaboys" or rewards for loyalty and good service. The only true pay "raises" (i.e. rewards) we ever get are upon increases in incentive levels or actual promotion.
We are not tied "in a way" to the Public Service (it's not just PSAC). Our pay is absolutely tied to that of the Public Service! This is actually a good thing (in my view) as the Public Service unions do all the work on negotiating the increases and then a comparability formula is applied to determine our new pay rates (which are generally higher). So whereas Public Servants may have to go on strike to get a fair increase, we do not. Sadly, strikes, which could cynically be described as beneficial to us, may not always benefit the Public Servants on the picket line. Sometimes, the amount of money they get in the settlement doesn't make up for what they lost while not getting paid during a strike.

agree fully - rather have it every year in smaller amounts than a large lump sum that skewers my income for that one year. For us this results in a loss on certain federal/provincial benefits that are tied to the family income for the year.
Always support the PS in fighting the good fight so we get more. ;D

Not only a loss in buying power, but if the CAF wants to be competitive in recruitment, then it needs to offer pay that is adjusted yearly to the CPI.NavyShooter said:

Minimum wage: 40 hrs @ $15 = $600 / week
PRes Pte R: 7 days @ 96.06 = $672.42 / week. If on course away from home, R&Q included.

Are you suggesting that there is a Kathleen Wynne/Ontario Liberal Party conspiracy to demilitarize the Province of Ontario? :stirpot:

$96.06 pay + $8.65 PILL = $104.71 per day / 7.5hrs = $13.96 per hr for Class A OS/AB + additional benefits (the value of SDB, Reserve Dental Plan and Education Reimbursement). I think the pay and benefits package is competitive for entry level training positions.

It's actually worse when you frame it IAW the half day / full day format:
For a half day you get 48.03 + 4.32 = 52.35, then divide that by 6 hours and you get $8.725 per hour. Worse yet again the longer you go over the six hour mark.

Yikes. At that metric, less than 6 hours, starting at PO2 / Sgt (IPC 1) + PILL starts to break even with $15 hr.
With most PRes quitting within 5 years, the majority would never see a break even point.

I get $8.21 an hour if you count a 24 hour day we're all liable to recall on. You can make the numbers mean anything, and reservists are no where close to being underpaid.

I would argue that reservists are underpaid by 15 per cent.

Endure the full hardships of RegF members and they'll get paid the same. PRes members get that 15% back when they're on Cl C, doing the same job as the RegF. That's a whole other ball of wax though.

Class A and Class B. Can't speak about the Rangers as I'm not aware how they are paid.
Class C should be the pay standard for Class A and B reservists.
As an aside, I found this interesting.

With that attitude, the Reserves will abandon ship and flip burgers at Mickey D's.
