After reading the AOA update this week regarding LEP command BPP. I am little confused by the way it was presented. Not trying to !!!! stir, but I would like to see how others interpret this because I read it slightly differently to 'backpaying' the BPP. I read it as all those in receipt of BPP before 1 July will ONLY be backdated to 1 July (to state the obvious we are currently in October, therefore a backdate to 1 July is still significant) and NOT backdated to the day BPP commenced for that individual. AND those in receipt of BPP since 1 July will be backdated from when they began receiving BPP (this bit is rather straight forward).
"All Officers in receipt of BPP on or since 01July will receive the allowance either from 01July (backdated) or from when they began receiving BPP. Incomplete months will be paid on a pro-rated basis."
As we read in previous updates, it is understood the sticking point may be the matter of backdating the pay where some individuals could be owed somewhere in the region of $1million. (25 Aug).
Thoughts?
