Havy to Adopt New Pay System A new pay plan, geared to the speed and extent of global war, will be initiated soon and will be come effective for the entire Navy on July 1, 1944, it has been an nounced by the Navy Department. The revised procedure, it was stated, will assure payment promptly on pay day of all emolu ments due every officer, enlisted man and woman. It will eliminate bookkeeping details and the delays sometimes unavoidable under the old system. Under the old system, when a man was detached from one sta tion or ship, a transfer pay account was prepared and sent to his new station or ship. Before it arrived, the man might be ordered to still a third place, and so on. To tide him over he could draw a tempo rary or emergency allowance. This procedure left the man unsettled about his true financial status, and disbursing officers were often un able to act with finality. Under the new system, a card record about the size of an ordin ary sheet of typewriting paper will be issued for each officer and enlisted man. It will carry his name, identification, rank or rat ing, duty pay for himself, and al lotments and allowances for his family, and all other information which the disbursing officer needs to establish the man’s exact pay status. This pay record will remain in the custody of the disbursing of ficer or the commanding officer at the man’s duty station. When the man is detached, it goes with him. The disbursing officer makes a no tation on the record to show what he has paid the man, who gives a signed receipt in return. No matter where the man is— at his station, en route, or newly rescued and not as yet assigned to new duty—he can present his card record and get his money on pay day. Every six months, a new pay record will be issued for each man. Any change in pay commensurate with new rating, rank or duties is sent promptly to the disbursing officer at the man’s current station, and is noted on the record. If the record is lost or destroyed, he can get a temporary duplicate from the nearest disbursing officer, and in a short time he will receive a permanent replacement. The new system, the Navy De partment states, will accomplish two major objectives: (1) It will BIRTHDAY BALL (Continued from page one) an individual blow against the dreaded disease.
