About Full-Time Military CHAPPS
Full-Time Military CHAPPS is a system designed for soldiers who have a 24/7 duty, meaning they must be available for work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, they are only paid for 5 days of each week, with Day 6 and 7 being unpaid, but they are still expected to perform duties on those days if necessary. This system acknowledges the unique nature of a soldier's work, which requires constant availability and commitment.
How It Works
In the context of the CHAPPS Pay System, full-time military employees would be paid for the first 7-day bid, with their pay location being tour 1, just like other employees. These soldiers receive their payment twice a month, every 15 days. This payment structure helps maintain a consistent income flow for soldiers while accommodating the demands of their 24/7 work schedule.
- Soldiers have a 24/7 duty but are only paid for 5 days per week.
- Soldiers are not paid for Day 6 and 7 but have duties on those days if needed.
- Full-time military CHAPPS are paid twice a month, every 15 days.
