Can anyone (PDF preferably) explain how the increments system works for calculating DF pay? For example, if you were a Cpl with ten years experience and have just been promoted Sgt are you paid at the bottom of the Sgt grade, at the ten year point, or some mixture of the two? Also, are increments paid on tech pay?

To the best of my knowledge, when you are promoted to a rank you start at the first increment for that rank. Eg you were a Corporal on the 3rd increment, when you are promoted to Sergeant you start on the 1st increment. (it may not be the case for graduates, DEs, etc).
There are no increments on tech pay.

Note this is an old document the pay has improved. -
each rank has 4 increments- which increase every year for 4 years
if you are a Cpl on increment 1 and you get promoted Sgt - you go onto Sgts increment 1
etc
interesting to note- those lovely civil servants have 13 increments (correct me if I am wrong on this)
that means that every year for 13 years a Lovely civil servant gets an increase in pay
whilst those disgusting Soldiers only get an increase for 4 yearsThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

maybe I was promoted a couple of months ago and am now serving away
from the Unit God would join if he could
and just maybe I have another 3.25 years on a shitty increment schemeThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
