Tolerance please. In honour of the impending arrival of the RN, a recent bulletin has provided a feature called "splash screen" to make us sailors feel welcome. Here is an example from a new application called User Access Control System:
What will users see?
When the maximum number of users has been reached, new log in attempts will return one of the following on screen messages;
Maximum number of JPA users currently logging on has been reached. Please try again in a few minutes.
OR
The JPA system is currently experiencing high levels of usage. Please try again later.
During periods of extended access control further information will be posted on the JPA Log On Messaging Screen (“splash screen”).
Does extended access control mean what I think it means?

On this months pay run 1 of our guys was paid 7x his normal wage....
This was due to 1000 days LOA being paid for Oct. How many days has October and why didn't it automatically flag up? Error was due to our HR staff inputting a date wrong.
Has to be repaid at only 3 days pay per month.
Another has received 3x his normal mount and there are no clues why.
It's still a shambles. I expect the extra sub-mariners pay and other special rates the RN receive will also be a complete balls up. This month will no doubt prove interesting.

On the subject of the 23 oct rollout for the RN, is the fact that everything is ready for you "dark blue" chaps to be bought into the system the reason that us "light-blue" chaps will not have access tothe system for 10 dyas before your rollout date?!!!

I wouldn't be so sure about the 3 days pay bit! A recent PMA/JPA bulletin mentioned that the overissue reclaim rate was now capped at 50% of your takehome pay. That could casue some real headaches.

The recovery rates are shrouded in grey mist. If you ever find that you have had a large lump of pay taken off you, you need to get to the RAO/UPO and plead financial hardship. If, of course, they have overpaid you, then you should have kept hold of the cash and not been out and bought a conservatory with it.....

No its not. This is a complete myth, that unfortunately some would like to believe. I had major issues with my pay, and had a substantial overissue. If yor refer to JSP 754 [02.0606] you will find that a MAXIMUM deduction of 4 days Gross pay still stands. I informed AFPAA, in no uncertain terms, that unless my overissue was repaid at the 4 days Gross pay, they would have yet another redress on their hands asking why exactly they were not following the regulations set out in JSP754. (this was after they deduced a previous overissue at a rate of 9 days Gross!!! After that Scottish thief who lives next door to the PM has a go, that didnt exactly leave me with much in the way of pay!)
I am currently repaying the overissue back at the correct rate (4 days Gross), and since all the problems I outlined to AFPAA in two snotograms (the first was obviously not worthy of response), I have had trouble free pay and would say that for those with corrected pay issues, the system is working far better and is far more accessible than the old scheme. (So far at least).

Impending problem that is not solvable (seriously). Not all JPA's fault, but will be hitting snagsville at the same time as JPA rollout to the RN.
Two words.
Submarine Pay.

Just seen the latest JPA advice for RN joining. If you are on an RAF Unit then the RAF HR Staff will be there to help.
some RAF personnel will be administered by RN Clerks (and vice-versa for RN personnel in RAF units. administered by Unit HR Admin staff who are not of their own Service.
At least there are no submarines at Cottesmore

JPA 'is exciting step forward' - Navy News, page 31, October edition.
'Worst system I have seen in 19 years' service' - RAF News, page 12, October 13 edition.
To tinker with a well-known phrase, is this the triumph of experience over hope?

It is a superb deal, almost as good as Des Browne and his "tax rebate that isn't" deal. They tell you it's what you hope it is, and by the time you find out that it is something else altogether, it's too late.
