Duty Money Cuts???

[spud]

I heard from a (fairly) reliable source today thatunarmed duty allowence was to be cut! any one else hear any thing similar?

[paul]

I was actually thinking about that also a few weeks ago. I know serving members of the df aren't gonna like the idea. The Brits don't pay theirs soldiers for non armed duties from what i know, but the df would save some amount of money not paying soldiers for such duties throughout the year. Just a taught.

yes im sure it would would save the DF alot of money, but its going to cripple any of us that rely on the extra cash! I for one regularly do unarmed dutys but the duty money is the only consolation i get for working shift hours and most weekends! I will be down about 600 euros a month between the income and pension levy and the aboliation of duty money! as usual there hitting the soldiers up because we are an easy target!

[hedgehog]

what duty panel are you on that you get

600 Euros a month in unarmed duty money



Duty money should NOT be touched

Armed or un Armed

i said in my last post that the 600 euro include the pension and income levys. and thats before tax. my unit works a shift system, so when im on a 12hr shift i get less 24hr duty allowence. when you take into account that the norm is 4 12hr shifts in a week, im down at least 100 euro a week in duty pay alone! thats the only compensation we get for working alot of weekends/nights/holidays

No worries

just wondering who (apart from me) was doing that many duties

you still seem to be doing a lot

unless your on a special panel that throws out grub to hungry folk

or open a large metal structure to facilitate the egress and exit of personnel

and I reckon there will be more than just you and me suffering these problems

The Army Wives Association may have to be reactivated yet! The DF are a soft touch for cutbacks total apathy from public in non garrison towns and of course no industrial action, this is only the start of it.
