Action

Calculate the days the member has worked as a military skills instructor, using the rules in clause 3.5.44.

2.

Calculate the days the member has worked as an instructor, training developer or training evaluator, using the rules in clause 3.5.44.

b. If the outcome equals 50 days or more during the member's work period, go to Step 4.

4.

Multiply the outcome of Step 1 by $27.40.

Note: $27.40 is the daily rate of the bonus payment ($10,000 ÷ 365 = $27.40).

Multiply the outcome of Step 2 by $13.70.

Step

Action

1.

25 full days + 10 half days = 30 full days.

2.

32 full days + 3 half days = 33.5 full days.

3.

30 + 33.5 = 63.5 full days.

The member may proceed to Step 4.

4.

30 days x $27.50 = $825.00.

5.

33.5 days x $13.70 = $458.95.

6.

$825.00 + $458.95 = 1283.95.

7.

The member may be paid $1283.95.
