More
categories for MSBS bonus
THIRTEEN
Air Force employment categories have been added to the Military
Superannuation Benefit Scheme Retention Benefit, which pays one
year’s pay to eligible members who agree to serve for another
five years. Five categories have also been revoked from the bonus
scheme.
To be eligible for the bonus, members must normally have attained
the rank of sergeant or squadron leader at their anniversary of
15 years’ service.
ADF members who have not achieved the rank of Sergeant or Squadron
Leader by 15 years are able to receive the bonus if they belong
to a specified category.
For an employment category to be classified as specified, there
must be a low probability of its members reaching the minimum
requisite rank because of its career structure. Members who are
in one of the new specified categories listed below and have passed
15 years of service must elect by December 14 to receive the bonus.
Members who have not yet completed 15 years service must elect
to receive the bonus within 90 days before their anniversary of
15 year’s service.
