Payment Inquiry

[swordfish2]

Everyones supposed to get payed today and on the 30th correct?
well i havint got one check yet since i was supposed to last month, i was hoping maybe i just had to wait a month but i guess not.
So what im hoping for was a number i could contact, so i dont have to wait 'till tuesday to speak with a clerk about it.

thanks

Are you Reg Force, or PRes (different pay systems and programs).  Pay runs are the 15th and last day of the month, or on the Friday preceeding if those days fall on Saturday or Sunday.

And...you will likely have to speak to someone who does pay for your unit, as not all RMS clerks have access to the pay systems in a global manner, ie, they usually can't administer the pay for people not in their units UIC.

Oh, its a pay cheque.  FYI.

I'm in the Pres, with 38th if it matters.

So I guess I will have to wait untill tuesday to speak with a clerk from there about it then?

Some banks don't process the pay into personal accounts until the end of the business day.  There's still time for it to appear in your account today.

although they are not supposed to wait until then.

Sword: Doesn't your unit have a full time clerk? If you are actually waiting for a cheque then you would receive it on the closest training night to pay day.  I am taking a guess that you are actually waiting for a DFT to your bank account. I know - most people don't give a rats a** what you call it but when you talk to a clerk about your problem it does make a difference.  Anyway,  the number you can contact is your unit OR - they are the only one that can help you.

Unless you worked between 15-31 Dec you will not have any pay this run.

01-15 Jan will show up at the end of Jan.

okay i called and for some reason even though i was sworn in almost 3 months ago they did not process my bank info into the payroll until just the 7th of this month. so on the 31st it should all be coming in.
thanks for the help peeps =]

Bloody slow clerks  ;D

Not to be a trouble maker (ok I am)  but....... If your money is not there at the end month then I would insist they process a local cheque request as you are entitled (key word) to receive your pay on pay day. No one should be waiting 3 months to receive pay these days.

.... If nothing on the 30th or 31st.... ask for an ADVANCE... for the amount you are entitled to.

No - not an advance.  Advances are for pay you are not already entitled to receive.  This is pay that he has already earned and should have received thus if the money is not in the account on the 30th (date he has agreed to by accepting the answer from the clerk) then he should be demanding they do a local pay issue.

Myself, I would have demanded my pay when I called them rather than waiting.  I also wonder about the clerks conduct as they knew he was due pay, knew he would not receive it on the mid month as they had not posted his info, so why did they not request a local payment for the 15th??

IIRC, we are paid once a month on the 30th/31st ..... with an advance on the 15th

Showing your age... that hasn't been the case since the late 90s.  With the introduction of RPSR, payments made are for attendance entered and approved.  Under the old RDS it was manual requests for advances for mid-month based on attendance to date entered on the RPDTs.

Thanks for the flashbacks 

 

[CountDC]

and if you want to flashback far enough in the reserves we used to get paid once a month for the prior months attendance, pay was $28.10 for a full day and something like $13.65 for half day. We also had trades called admin and fin that always got along really good. >

 

[Eye In The Sky]

I remember being paid once a month, at the end of the month, paid in cash, signed the ledger and everything...

The best part was...your pay was a month behind, so the trng you did the first half of Sept, you'd get paid for at the end of Oct.

The grass IS greener now IMO...

And, in typical military fashion, the selection process went like this:

If you can count, you're Admin.  if you can read, you're Finance.

:brickwall:  lol, that explains why I had to fire the private from my office after he screwed up 2 peoples pay - mine and the CO's

I'm still waiting to get paid, and I arrived at my unit in August. I've gotten a few "advances", but apparently there's a problem in Ottawa or something. You'd think someone could make a phone call and sort it out. Oh well, at least I'll eventually get a nice big paycheque! :-\

Small cheque, cause you forgot about all the advances you got.

 

[breezie]

It'll still be pretty big, the advances were only a portion of what I would have gotten, and I have only gotten a few since I arrived. C'est la vie I suppose. Hopefully it will all get sorted before I get promoted to Major (I'm an OCdt now)!

1.  They are not advances as you are already entitled to the pay.

2. You should be getting close to your full pay, not small portions.

3.  Ask for details on what the problem is, what action has been done to correct it and when they expect the problem to be resolved. Insist on an action plan and time line you can follow and that in the mean time they issue you your full pay.  To be honest most times I have heard the "problem in Ottawa" line it has actually been a problem at the unit and Ottawa knew nothing about it so I never trust it when a clerk uses that line.  It has always been too common for some unit clerks to put off the unit members by telling them that the problem is Brigade/Area/Ottawa. (showing age again) This peaked after the amalgamation as the fin/admin clerks could no longer blame it on each other (it's an admin problem, no it's a fin problem)
