Interesting mention of lack of bandwidth up there. I'd heard rumours that a certain HQ was going to get streaming live news over the network there. There are obviously no bandwidth problems at all

I think I'll save the extra as I can see a large bill coming if someone ever sorts this out!

Pay is down by an amount that is suspiciously approximate to my flying pay!! Not seen a statement (on-line or paper) so I cannot prove it is flying pay. No supplementary payment like has been promised either. Mind you the last paper 1771 I submitted (on 31 March) appears to have been paid.

I have been paid - internet bank told me so, however, no pay statement so I can't check if it is the correct amount. Asked my HR Admin lad to view my record for me and guess what ? I don't exist.
How much longer can this fiasco run for

According to the bank I have been paid. 
There are two inputs, i'm guessing basic pay and an additional amount, probably flying pay.
No way of checking if the amounts are correct as no pay statement.

I am in the same boat... my pay appears to have gone in, but I cannot check my hard copy pat statement as it it several thousand miles away. Now, if it had gone home, Mrs Tonks could have had a look. Whay have we binned sending them to a private address... to get in line with the Army? who haven't even taken JPA on yet!!!! Ridiculous, why do we have to step back in time to the lowest common denomitor.
Still, at least I can still pay the ex-wife, which will keep the solictor away

The pay run overseas has been a complete disaster. I have £500 in my UK account and £4.03 paid into my overseas account. I know I like my job, but this is taking the

A mate of mine didn't get any pay at all..... HR said it must be the banks fault......Hmmmm??
He had to go and get an advance in cash...
...now there's an idea..In stead of all this computer type stuff, how about we all line up in front of the CO, march up, salute and take the wages in cash????
Where's that gems form?

Basic pay and some of flying pay in, but not all! Still better than not getting it all. Anyone fancy setting up an online sweepstake for when it will get sorted.........
........ and another sweepstake for whether the 'prat at the back' in charge of this gets promoted / knighted or leaves to join EDS as a consultant!

I've been paid just as my pay statement said (saw it online only last monday). Which is on the wrong rate (lower than it should be) and without my flying pay!!! I've been paid enough to cover my mortgage and direct debits, but I may be getting a bit thirsty in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at my bank it looks like I have been paid correctly including flying pay and HTD but without a pay slip I cannot confirm. However looking at the problems some of us have had I must be one of the the lucky ones.

I must be incredibly lucky - was able (albeit by the skin of my teeth) to view pay statement online a few days ago (just before whole system went tilt), recieved purple paper pay statement (which makes no sense whatsoever) and pay has gone into bank. What's more, it seems about right - I say 'about' because now that no daily rates or increments are listed, I have no way of checking....convenient that, after April and all when our rates of pay have just changed post pay 'rise'....

God bless JPA 
- not only my PAS monies but somebody has slipped in a little extra - I guess it's a tip. Unlike capped actuals it seems to be more than 10%!! The extra goes straight to savings 'cos we know that my pay will be less next month as they adjust their cockups - when I can get on JPA I will inform them. Still not seen hide nor hair of the hardcopy so that I can see what the extra is all about.
