I have recently completed QL5 and been given the big ol' Spec Pay raise. Usually this is awesome news, however this has affected my IPC. Before Spec Pay I was a Cpl 3 with a month until Cpl 4 roll-over. The kicker was I spent 5 years in the Res which granted me 330 days reg force time, which was part of my job offer. They rolled me out as a Cpl 0 in the Reg Force in Feb 2010. March 2010 I got IPC 1, and every year since I've been granted my additional IPC. So on that train of thought, Mar 2013 I would get Cpl IPC 4 granted.
However, I completed QL5 and was granted spec pay. This switch reduced my IPC to Cpl 2 with a new IPC increase date of Feb 2013 (The anniversary of my Reg Force enrolment). This will bring me back to Cpl IPC 3, Spec 1... however, instead of recieving IPC 4 in March, I have to wait another year. I was told my 330 days does not count towards my Spec Trade time in, so they are basing this on my enrolment, sans time granted.
I can't seem to find anything in the pay guide or CANFORGEN's other than a blip that IPC shouldn't be affected which is my only fighting chance right now. I was told by my clerk that this is my responsibility to find the backing paper-work in order to regain the 330 days towards my IPC. Can anyone clear this up for me? If it is what it is, I accept it... but if I really am entitled to what I've earned over time, I would really like to get it back. This is about 1100 bucks over a year that I'd lose, that I thought I was rightfully entitled to.
Thanks!
