RPSR

The Revised Pay System for the Reserves delivers Class A, Class B, and domestic Class C pay to members of the Reserve Force. CCPS pays Regular Force members, as well as Reserve Force members who are employed on Class C Reserve Service.

Prior to the introduction of RPSR in 1998, reservists in Atlantic Canada were briefly paid by the Interim Reserve Pay and Personnel System, or IRPPS. The roll-out was unsuccessful, as inadequate training, a poor data infrastructure and a lack of preparation combined to create an adminstrative and financial morass. With lessons learned from the roll-out of IRPPS, the repacked application, now known as RPSR, was introduced nationwide with significantly fewer problems.

RPSR replaced the REserve Data System, a personnel-intensive mainframe computer system which relied on 11x17 sheets with carbon paper between multiple copies which were fed to a data centre at [[[FMC Headquarters]].
