Allowances rolled into pay |
| Phase 3 of the Remuneration Reform Project (RRP Ph3) rolled some Qualification and Skills (Q&S) allowances into salary. The change is now being implemented through CENRESPAY II. The change affects the salaries of both permanent and reserve members. The Q&S allowances affected are: - Flying Allowance - Special Action Forces Allowance - Specialist Operations Allowance - Submarine Service Allowance RRP Ph3 implementation changed the way these allowances are paid, by rolling them into salary. Under the old allowance payment rules, eligible Reserve members who worked a part-day were paid a full-day’s Q&S element of the allowance. Rolling these allowances into salary ensures that members are paid equitably. The change will only be noticeable when you perform duty for a part-day. For example, if you work for twohours you will be paid your salary, which now includes the Q&S element, for 1/3 day. Or if you work four hours you will be paid salary for 1/2 day.
