Make-up pay questions

[swordspirit]

Let say you work on a 5 working days basis (assume 1 month 2500). Overseas ICT 1 whole month (for illustration purposes). You are paid $550 (corporal service pay) for this 1 month period. Employer claim MUP and pay you 1950 (2500 - 550).

In this case, all the weekends are burned and wont be paid? Do SAF separately pay the weekends or just LLST become free labour (not even cheap liao)?

I just came back from an overseas ICT.

The following is taken from the NS Portal:
- Actual Attendance: 28-10-14 (0730hrs) to 15-11-14 (2359hrs)
- Amount due = (monthly salary*4.00)/(23.00) + (monthly salary*10.00)/(20.00)

It is obvious that the computation is based on working days (defined as Monday to Friday). There were 23 working days in October of which 4 were ICT working days. There are 20 working days in November of which 10 were ICT working days.

The question is for those weekends, are you paid? or it will be burned?

Because the way MUP is computed is

MUP (for working days only) - service pay to you (including weekend) = reimbursment

Salary paid to you = Monthly salary - service pay to you (including weekend).

Effectively, you are only paid the monthly salary. Thus, weekend all tio burned? free labour?

Based on slide 13-16, no payment for weekends?

If I am not wrong, if say you earn 2.5k a month and your working days are Mon-Fri, with Sat and Sun as non working days, your 2.5k pays for not only your working days of Mon-Fri, but it also pays for your non working days of Sat-Sun.

So as long as you are paid 2.5k a month you are still being paid for your weekends. You don't suffer financial losses, but you suffer leisure timing losses. so sucks to be anybody who needs to do reservist?

1. Your MUP covers the difference in your civilian pay.
2. If your reservist covers non-working day(s), no additional MUP (aka OT pay).
3. Service pay differs based on your length of reservist.

In conclusion, is not free labour as service pay will still be credited to you.

but if u look at the slides 13-16, the service pay that is paid is fully deducted off the reimbursment which will be paid to the employer, who will deduct it off from your salary. so end of the day, you only get the normal salary for the month without any extra even if called back during the off days (public holidays, weekends, etc.)

i.e.

MUP = Loss in Civilian Income (working days) – Svc Pay (all days)
