AIP for Officers
All, please forgive me if this is a stupid question, however I have been at Shrivenham Polytechnic for the last few months and don't always get to hear what is happening in the 'real world'.
Having finally received my pay statement for Apr (I don't have online access to JPA yet) I have noticed that annotated in the Payroll Information box is AIP Available 2. I was under the impression that although it was recommended under Pay 2000 that officers should have AIPs, they were not yet available. Has the situation changed recently and are all ranks now eligable for AIPs ?

BB,
Not a silly question at all - I saw the same on my pay statement and wondered the same. They have made so many changes with JPA that I thought they might have slipped this on in unannounced as well.
However, I had a read through the intranet online version of the new Pay JSP (753 if my memory doesn't fail me), and it was very specific that officers don't get AIPs only SNCO downward.
Perhaps JPA is a little ahead of the game for once
and it has been given AIPs so that the software doesn't need to be amended when the AFPRB/MOD finally agree to them.
If anyone knows any different I would be very interested as it would mean a reasonable pay rise

BB & D4R,
Guys this may come as a shock. Apparently JPA has got it wrong, but at least it’s an equal opportunity f
k up... the number of AIPs is wrong on most of the working class pay slips too

AIP = Advanced Incremental Progression (or words to that effect)
Great management speak really
Allows you to jump a couple of rungs up the pay ladder as a pay back for gaining some useful qualifications, e.g. get qual x and be paid as a Level 6 Sgt instead of a Level 5 Sgt - so worth up to about £1000 a year per level (depending on rank/seniority etc).
Now if they let me loose on AIP taken together with PA Spine
