"Where errors to pay are identified and to ensure there is no financial hardship, there are well defined processes in place to ensure swift payments are made."
A good spot ZH
In order to fully understand this statment we need to break it down and remove spin:
'Where errors to pay are identified...' This suggests a process that checks the pay for errors and flags them to the system. It is not a falsehood to suggest it's existance - your overworked underpaid soldier/sailor/airman is the checker and does identify errors to the system... usualy once a month for up to 12 months such is the willingness to accept what is already identified..
'...to ensure there is no financial hardship...' Hardship for who? From where Im standing its the MoD - think how much interest they must accrue from retaining what is really yours - multiplied out over the number serving? So a true statement, can't have the MoD unable to put £1000 chairs in their marble floored offices can we?
'...well defined processess..' indeed there are, named: Ignorance, Lazyness, Poor contracting, Poor Programming, Incompetance, Stupidity and Come Back Next Month.
'...ensure swift payments...' Odd how the deductions are incredibly swift - even so efficient that you were sometimes never meant to have certain deductions. That is what they mean isn't it? Payments to them I mean, after all, we would feel devastated were we to find that we actualy owed them anything and since none of us joined for the money we wont get in the neck from the other half when the rent is due or the bills are left unpaid.
