A common theme amongst the comments was a perception that, having been selected for training, Reservists are then removed in favour of regular personnel. This has been raised during AMPBT visits - see page 17.
Pay & Allowances • How satisfied are you with your basic pay?
While 53% are satisfied with their basic pay, 41% are not. It’s noteworthy that many commented that, in effect “I don’t do this for the money”. Some 49% are happy with the Annual Bounty.
• However, 24% were dissatisfied with the administration of their pay and we received more comment about this than any of the other questions. We were struck by the number of comments from those who said they had not been paid for sometimes months at a time. The lack of personal access to JPA featured consistently as an issue as well.
• There also appeared to be more dissatisfaction with what can be claimed and how much can be claimed across all types of Reservist. Many comments indicated that awareness of allowances could be better.
Integration with Regular Service Personnel
We heard some fairly trenchant views about integration and so we asked: How satisfied are you with the level of integration between Reserves and Regulars? Response
Satisfied/very satisfied
Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied Dissatisfied/Very Dissatisfied
Overall 48% 25% 27%
