15 Bde have dictated that there will be no pay for Friday night training, until soldiers have served until 1900hrs on the Saturday. Retention? My arrse.
Svyazist said:We get between two and a quarter and two and a half days for a weekend, depending on the official start time of the weekend's training.
For instance if we are told to turn up at 2000 we will only get a quarter of a days pay.
I believe that to get a half days pay you have to do more than 5 hours of training, but I think that changes with the introduction of JPA!

barbarasson said:yes it does, so there are issues such as can you get soldiers to stag oon the gate before the start of a drill night. This is all ridiculous penny-pinching.

Only one day's pay may be paid within a period of 24 hours.
(2) For a period of continuous attendance for training exceeding 24 hours, pay is to be issued for each day (midnight to midnight) during which the officer or soldier is required to attend for 8 hours or more and, in that period, completes at least 4 hours actual training.
paysheet said:Also now telling people that they can't attend anymore as their days have run out and the unit needs to make expenditure cuts.
paysheet said:I've been in the TA a long time. Its always been badly organised at times but at the moment it seems to be in a state of meltdown, where it stumbles from one blunder to another and you can't trust it to pay you at all (or the wright rate), honour its commitments (promotion etc) or pay you your bounty.
