Pay Raise For Fiscal Year 2006

[geo]

well.... we certainly can't (or shouldn't) expect to receive anything more than what the Public service have negotiated.... what they get.... we'll get (They have better negotiating techniques).

2 ply???? Sir, with all due respect, I think you chose the wrong side.........  ;D  I just saw the other day in the F-16 barrack block a Trooper (Thats right, a bloody Private!) pulled into the parking lot with his new Porsche Boxter. Ah, to be a young Trooper living in the barracks with no bills......................  ;

A trooper owns that? Man..

Young and living in with no bills? I wish. Then again it's mostly the ridiculous insurance killing me. I for one hope for this pay raise, as odd as it sounds I could really use it. I heard more and more talk about it today in the ROR and surrounding area but really it's nothing no ones already mentioned previously.

Spoke with my OR Clerks yesterday and they are under the impression that we aren't getting a pay raise this year because the last pay raise we got was a lump sum compared to how it was paid out to the public service. Their pay raise is over 3 (?) years.

 

[geo]

Sapper.... the lump sum that came our way was an adjustment to bring us up to Public service levels..... we should be as they - pay rases over 3 years.

So has anyone heard anything about a raise yet?  My dh has asked at his unit but they say they haven't heard anything and not to hold our breath.

"From Maj Dave Barr, Directorate of Pay Policy Development

The process of establishing Canadian Forces (CF) salaries and pay raises is a cyclical functiondollar sign that is currently well underway with regard to 2006 salaries and raises. When 2006 pay increases are announced, they will be retroactive to April 1, 2006."

Basicly we are getting a raise in pay, we just dont know how much, but it will be retroactive April 2006.

Thanks for the Info Techy

I found this on another board -> Canadaka.net
MP's get hefty hikes to cover expenses

Best advice we ever got:

"Don't believe anything, in regards to pay raises, until you actually see the increase on your pay statement and it matches the amount in your account"

That would be MP's as in Members of Parliament.
Can only dream of making what they do

 

[Jarnhamar]

Hey this pay raise can make up for the big possibility of roto 2 regs and reserves loosing their 6 months worth of TD  :blotto:

 

[geo]

huh?

 

[Jarnhamar]

Ignore me, just bitching

 

[IN HOC SIGNO]

Ignore me, just bitching

Done ;D

 

[BKells]

Our platoon 2i/c told us today to expect a CANFORGEN to be released in a few days regarding pay raises.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Don't believe it till you've spent it.

 

[Bobbyoreo]

The problem is....I've already spent it....now I need more.... :'(

 

[geo]

(sniff, sob, boo hoo!)

Just came out. No details yet regarding exact amounts. Though it emphasises that it WILL be retroactive to 1 April 06 regardless of when it comes in.

GSO/PILOT/NCM PAY ADJUSTMENT AND IT WILL LIKELY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO
DO SO BEFORE FALL 06.  SECURING A FAIR AND EQUITABLE PAY ADJUSTMENT

EFFECTIVE 1 APR 06, AND, AN INCREASE OF 1.1 PERCENT TO AT-RISK PAY,
EFFECTIVE FOR FY 06/07.  GIVEN THAT AT-RISK PAY IS FACTORED INTO THE
BASE SALARY OF THE SENIOR OFFICERS OF THE CF, THE INCREASE TO PAY
INCREMENTS CANNOT BE DIRECTLY APPLIED.  PAY TABLES ARE BEING
PREPARED TO CLARIFY THE COMBINED NET INCREASE.  BY CDS DIRECTION,
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SNR OFFRS INCREASE WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL WE ARE
IN A POSITION TO FIRST IMPLEMENT THE GSO/PILOT/NCM PAY INCREASE

A little funny how they can never seem to give us our pay raise on time.  I'm sure the politicians get theirs on time, staff officers too.  Oh well, bigger chunk in the end, just like last year.  Hopefully it doesn't go as long as last time though.

 

[vonGarvin]

I'm sure the politicians get theirs on time, staff officers too. 

FYI, the "GSOs" referred to in the message are probably mostly staff officers.  As am I.  I have yet to receive the pay increase.  Just to clear up any misconceptions that the officers are getting their pay raise before the troops (although, by tradition, the NCMs eat first whilst the officers get paid first).

 

[Loachman]

I'm sure the politicians get theirs on time, staff officers too.

I've spent about ten years as a staff officer out of 33 years total and I've never got my pay increase one minute earlier than anybody else, thank you very much.
