RAF JPA Rollout
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Heard today of a very kind FS who has given Aunty Betty a personal interest free loan of £500 and someone else who has chipped in £100.
The JPAC state that the Majority, but not the whole, of the RAF has been mispaid this month, with a deduction for NPD, but no NPD Offset to repay it, and that this will be corrected in Augusts main pay.
So if 40,000 (out of 48,000) have a discrepancy of £54.45, that means that £2,178,000 is an interest free loan for the Government. Wouldn't it be nice to know where this money is being used.

Hmmm;
I did wonder why JPA was so slow this afternoon.
My pay SR (the current one) has been running for 6 of its 10 day period so far with no action yet!!!
How will it cope with NCA up-banding in 2 months time and/or peeps transfers to the PA pay spine????
More LAter;

My formal complaint has been submitted through the Chf Clk. BTW he was very helpful and there does not appear to be a reluctance to send in formal complaints, not from my unit anyway.

"There is at least one RAF chap here who was not paid by JPA for 3 months. He had to get a cheque from the Admin Office to cover. JPA sent him a bill each month though to say that he owed the MOD a month's pay! Of interest is the fact that a very senior RAF officer, who was responisible for pushing JPA for into the MOD has now retired to a job with the civi company who run it. Oh well jobs for the boys."
The above post was taken from the Army RumouR SErvice (ARRSE) web site. Anybody able to confirm who the Very Senior RAF officer might be? If indeed there is one who has gone to EDS or Oracle.

Be careful, the last time I ranted about the Scottish "Group Captain who became an Air Chief Marshal and went to work for EADS" I got suspended.
Working overeas, my pay is split between my UK bank and a local bank (in local currency). Last month (end of June) I got my UK pay and my local currency pay then, a few days later my local currency pay again. The fixed forces exchange rate has changed this month which, in turn has changed the LOA; you would have to be in the perfect circumstance for this to be a neutral effect. As of cease work today, nothing has gone in to the local bank although the UK element has been paid. Not seen a pay statement since the end of May.
This is not a whinge that I am short of money as the correction will be very minor indeed. But, with 12 equal monthly payments and fluctuating rates (and lack of pay statements) I have no idea what I am expected to be paid. JPA is a farce and heads need to roll!

Overseas Pay - 31 Jul 06
From the RAF intranet:
Regrettably, an error has been made by AFPAA in the processing of July salary payments, which were due to be paid into the bank by today, 31 July. This affects most European banks (with the exception of those in Cyprus) and some international payments (with the exception of the USA and Canada). These payments will be credited into the relevant banks by Friday, 4 Aug at the latest. Further communication will be issued as the details of the specific units involved become available. This situation was the result of regrettable human error.
I do like the last sentance.

Appalling. I hope that the press are still picking this one up.

I was due to move up a level in pay last month; however, my pay statement has remained the same. Anyone experienced this? Would ring JPA, but as you are all probably aware, they will take details of query and ring me back in 3 weeks or so.

I took it upon myself to take a personal interest in the JPA grief enveloping one of my ACs and a flt lt. Surprisingly, all sorted, however, this should not be the case and I have made myself rather unpopular with some grown up peeps. C'est la vie, I've applied for redundancy.

I understand that there was a 2 star who didn't get his £180K + gratuity on retirement. That must have smarted.
