Equilibrium,
yes I have received my CILOT (quarter council tax) rebates when I have been paid Operational Allowance.
Recently though I received a letter, like a lot of people, that I had been overpaid Op Allowance, i.e. two lots in one day, one for Iraq and one for Afghanistan. Being a tight ar$ed yorkshireman, I decided to check what I had been paid and what I actually needed to pay back, so after a morning going through my log book,pay slips and the rather poor printouts from JPA (several entries for each day), it turns out that they have actually underpaid me by £200. If you've received one of these letters, I'd take the time to check if I was you.

What actually happened...........
In the beginning was the plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the ORs.
And they spoke among themselves, saying,
"It is a crock of ****, and it stinketh."
And the ORs went unto their Sgts and said,
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof."
And the Sgts went unto their OCs, saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
such that none may abide by it."
And the OCs went unto their Stn Comds, saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
And the Stn Comds spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another,
"It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Stn Comds then went unto the AOCs, saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
And the AOCs went unto the MinAF, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
of the company, with powerful effects."
And the MinAF Looked upon the Plan, and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
This is how JPA Happens

From the sound of it JPA and SAP are almost if not the same thing. With the same problems as well
Does this sound familiar?
Apology over SAP
At least someone saw sense with this version of JPA and delayed the "go-live" date until the system has been tested a bit more. Mind you left it to the last moment as the "go-live" was meant to 1st June.

Officials in Somerset say that the first stage of a SAP go-live for two councils, a police authority and a fire brigade has had a "high degree of success", though an internal e-mail to staff concedes that there are multiple problems.
The e-mail says that the SAP project team is working "relentlessly day and night to fix all the issues raised via the help desk, so that we can resume normal service as soon as possible".
