Sussed it! They are developing a module which will allow you to enter your loyalty cards, Airmiles cards, Tesco Clubcards, etc so that as you spend the money they pay you, you will accrue credits on your accounts. Once you have enough credits, then you will be deemed "payable" from your loyalty card accounts.
This way, you are duty bound to spend all your money so that you will get paid again. All those who fail to spend enough money will have money allocated to them from people who are misusing Airmiles accounts. Additionally, all those that are deployed with no access to the system will not be paid at all as they cannot complain or see their non-existent Pay Statements - adding more money to the pot for those that man the important Admin Centres. Simple really.
Once they have finished working out how to cash in Childcare vouchers, Working Tax credits and how to claw back the "bogof" purchases you make in the NAAFI, it will be a fully functional system, and Wg Cdr Whatsisface will be able to receive his gong without a trace of embarassment or hypocrisy. Well done Sir!
