Found the CCPS Production Calendar on the DMPAP website. It lists 21 Oct as the release date for End-Oct Pay stubs, so if there is a planned outage for 22-27 Oct (and is we presume correctly that there is no pay raise landing until after this maintenance is completed), that appears to indicate...

Anyone have an indication when the pay raise back pay will hit? Announced Aug 8th and 4 paydays since still no real indication when exactly it's supposed to land. I mean, my money has been on a November (Mid or End) drop as most likely, but I'd have thought there would have been some more...

100% Job Well Done!

RCAF Comd Town Hall took place this week and basically said "before anyone asks the question (we've been asked every spot along the way so far), YES the CAF will see an additional pay adjustment comparable to the PSAC increase once it's ratified, and it will be backdated". Didn't go into any...

So, the strike is over and PSAC gets 12.6% pay increase over the span of 2021 to 2025 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/psac-treasury-board-strike-deal-number-crunching-wages-salaries-1.6828500). From 2021 to 2023 that represents an 8% salary increase (9.75% if including the wage...

Much obliged! I figured it didn't cou t as a VOT, just wanted to confirm. Pronouns all good.

Thankfully still an Lt at this point. CTd as a Cpl in 2016 to OCdt to attend University until '21. I'm thinking more along the lines of 2-5yrs from now on pulling the trigger, so I'd still likely be Capt then.

I have 13+ years in and would consider a VOT to a trade that is somewhat related to a career I wish to transition to after my 25 are done. I believe I recall that a member can have up to 2 VOTs per career. I am uncertain if this is accurate and, if so, if I still have one left in the bag or not...

I was told recently by a coworker to "always reject the first offer" with VAC and it will lead to bigger payouts for disability benefits found in your favour. Basically the idea is that, like any insurance company, they lowball you on the first offer and hope you accept it so that they don't...

Thanks for all the replies all. You've all guessed anyway, yes this is in relation to mandatory jabs. I don't want them YET because: No long-term observations on health yet No ability to sue the vax makers if you suffer adverse effects While approved by Health Canada, no FDA Approval on any...

We've all been told since BM(O)Q that we are allowed to disobey unethical/unlawful orders. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction for which Regs/Orders the guidelines for doing so fall under? QR&O? DAOD? Just wanting to better understand what qualifies as such, what actions I...

It's that "hurry up and wait" ethos hard at work.

I guess I got my answer... Quite literally just finished being in a Unit meeting to receive my official promotion to 2Lt from our CO. Weird how that works sometimes... I guess it's roughly 2 months to process then. hahaha

Anyone have an average guess to how long an official promotion is taking to process at the moment? My promotion will be effective back to 27 Apr and it's been almost 2 months at this point. My Unit AdminO has said they're fine with me wearing my new rank before the paperwork arrives, but it...

With the government moving towards legalization of recreational weed this upcoming summer, will this affect how the CAF views recreational weed? Will it be treated the same way as alcohol currently is (basically don't show up to work intoxicated)(don't make an ass of yourself at the mess)? Or do...
