"Payslips" for the 15 April 2022 payday are available in Direct Access. Report any discrepancies through the P&A Office (Admin) to the SPO. If SPOs cannot address or need assistance, the SPO will submit a trouble ticket. Payslips can be accessed via the Self-Service "View" menu.
The more you understand some of the basics of the various pay, special pays, and allowances, the better you are able to make sure the information we need to compute your pay each month is up-to-date. The tool available to all military members each payday is the Direct Access Payslip. This report lets you know the information our systems use to process your pay, details about the pay and allowances you are eligible for, payroll deductions, as well as your leave balance. The following guides will help you understand your Payslip.
The mid-month payday is Friday, 15 April 2022. Paydays are the 1st (end-month) and the 15th (mid-month) of each month, or the business day preceding the 1st or the 15th if either should fall on a federal holiday, Saturday or Sunday. Members should not set up automated payments or assume funds will be available prior to published paydays. Members should verify with their financial institutions as to the actual time funds are available to their accounts. See "When is Payday?" for more information.

Updated - How to Submit PCS Advance Request and File PCS Travel Claims
Until a new system is in place for PCS claims, we're using a combination of TPAX and ETS to calculate, approve, and payout PCS advances and claims. Follow this procedure to submit PCS advances or claims. In the April 6, 2022 update we removed the requirement from the FY 21 PCS Voucher Process to update the obligation in DA when the amount due is $3,000 or more. This step isn't necessary.
