Introduction
1. Every Commanding Officer (CO) wants their Sailors to be paid the right amount, on time, every payday.
Sailors who aren’t worried about their pay, and the impact pay issues can have on them and their families, are
better able to focus on the task at hand. Pay impacts readiness. Pay also impacts retention, as Sailors who have
persistent pay issues are less likely to Stay Navy. This quick reference guide explains the personnel and pay
processes required to be completed by Command Pay and Personnel Administrators (CPPA). Within your
command, your CPPA has primary responsibility for the timely and accurate changes to your Sailor’s pay.
Commands with high performing CPPAs tend to have properly paid Sailors. Experience has shown that CPPA
effectiveness is a direct reflection of the level of command support and oversight provided to their role. This
guide provides information and tools to help you and your CPPA to ensure your command is an effective
member of the partnership that takes care of your Sailors’ pay and personnel matters.
2. The information provided is compiled from the following resources available to CPPAs:
a. CPPA Handbook - available to ensure all CPPAs understand how to process transactions that may be
required of them. This is an in-depth working document and is consistently updated based on changing
requirements. CPPAs should use this handbook while conducting all transactions submitted to Transaction
Support Center (TSC) for processing to ensure accurate and timely completion. The electronic version of this
handbook is accessed via MyNavyHR and provides links to all references and documents that will be required
for each transaction. Recommend printing the CPPA Handbook to PDF from the MyNavy HR website as a
ready resource and prior to each underway to have the reference available offline.
b. PERS 2 Standard Operating Procedures – a link is available at www.my.navy.mil/quick-links.html that
shows from start to finish the steps to be taken for each type of transaction your admin team will be asked to
create. It also shows the responsibilities of each member in the process from Service Member, CPPA, Personnel
Clerk, Personnel Supervisor and Command Triad and it shows step by step what role each member plays to
process each transaction. Figure 1-1 below shows where to access CPPA Resources. Figure 1-2 shows available
CPPA resources.

• Best Practice(s)/Recommendation(s):
 Saving the link to this page as a desktop shortcut or to favorites.
 Downloading the Military Pay Announcements (MPA)/Pay and Personnel Information Bulletins (PPIB)
(right side of site under, “MyNavy HR Web Resources) monthly to stay up to date on pay/personnel changes.
o These are typically released via message traffic but are often overlooked or not received on units
underway in a timely manner; therefore, this would be a way to ensure commands stay up-to-date with
changes.

Accesses Required by CPPA
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) – Command View – access via BUPERS Online (BOL)
LINK: https://www.bol.navy.mil/BAM/menu.aspx
2. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Administrative View and CPPA access – access via Navy Standard
Integrated Processing System (NSIPS) required for CPPA to view enlisted service records and administrative
data, and process transactions inside of NSIPS.
LINK: https://www.nsips.navy.mil/my.policy

PERSTEMPO
CO Best Practices: Review PERSTEMPO monthly. Ensure those that have returned from TAD
are annotated and transactions are submitted to adjust pay and entitlements. Pay particular
attention when deployment starts and ends.
• References:
 OPNAVINST 3000.13 (series)
• Current Policy:
 In accordance with Legislation, DoD, and DoN Policy, deployment of all service members (Officers
and Enlisted, Active and Reserve) are required to be tracked on an individual basis (Personnel Tempo-
PERSTEMPO).
 PERSTEMPO tracks and reports days a Sailor is away from their homeport, permanent duty station or
assigned unit. All commands and activities are required to report PERSTEMPO events for all assigned
Sailors per OPNAVINST 3000.13 (series). No command or activity is exempt from this requirement.
• Significance of PERSTEMPO Events.
 PERSTEMPO data can be used to assist in the assignment process for both Permanent Change of
Station (PCS) and Individual Augmented (IA) orders, answer queries (by Congress, Department of
Defense and other agencies such as the Veterans Administration) and document deployment of IAs
and Corpsmen attached to Fleet Marine Force units (ensuring they receive proper credit for their
important contributions).
 We need your help. PERSTEMPO data accuracy can be greatly enhanced by closing expired events.
Numerous PERSTEMPO events are opened and never closed. Expired events are triggered as
projected end dates occur in the past and are identified by reports made available to each command via
the BUPERS On-Line (BOL) Control "D" mailboxes (I-EXPIRED EVENTS). The PERSTEMPO
Help-Desk can help with questions in closing these expired events.
• Comments from the Chief of Navy Personnel.
 The PERSTEMPO program is not only a Legislative requirement, but is the right thing to do for our
Sailors. It is impossible for OPNAV or BUPERS PERSTEMPO managers to know the deployment
schedule of every unit or individual in the Navy; the responsibility and requirement to report
PERSTEMPO for Sailors must appropriately rest with the Commanding Officer.
• XO oversight is needed to ensure that designated PERSTEMPO coordinators are opening an event prior to
the start of deployment and closing the event upon return.
• Points of Contact.
 For general PERSTEMPO questions or help with event processing call the PERSTEMPO Data Team
Customer Service at Comm: 901-874-4717, Option 1; DSN: 882-4717 (option one) or
Email: perstempohd@navy.mil

Personnel and Administrative Oversight
CO Best Practices: Discuss outstanding personnel pay issues with Admin Officer and CPPA.
Review Unified Command Financial Report (UCFR).
• Daily:
 Meeting with Admin Officer/Admin LCPO/LPO/CPPA to discuss outstanding personnel issues.
• Weekly:
 Review print out of Unified Command Financial Report
 Print and review Salesforce report.
o Click drop down tab and select reports.

13
o Click “public reports” to the left.
o Select “Cases I have access to.”

14
o The following is an example of the excel report that will be generated.
 At Department Head / Department Chief Meeting, review all pay problems, PG/PL list, and discuss manning
issues.
 Ensure Sponsors are assigned, contact is being made, and sponsors are using a script to ensure all pertinent
data is addressed. The CO is ultimately responsible for the Command Sponsor and Indoctrination Program
but the XO needs to be routinely involved and support the CO.
 Review My Navy Assignment. (Discussed in Manning section).
• Monthly:
 Have Admin Officer/Admin LCPO/LPO/CPPA print out and route to CO the Unit Commanders Financial
Report (UCFR) from NSIPS, MNA listing, Projected Loss Report, Prospective Gains Report, Alpha locator,
Family Care Plan Report and Awards Eligibility Report (Good Conduct Tracker). All of these reports are
available via NSIPS Reports shown in Figure 1-3.

CPPA Daily / Weekly / Monthly To Do List
Daily
Login into Salesforce and verify all transactions and
provide feedback to your Sailors. (This daily interaction
with Salesforce and Sailors is vital in keeping on top of
your Sailors pay.)
Review your upcoming transfers and verify that all
documents are submitted to TSC for action.
For all transfers ensure that service member
departs with a copy of Loss Document, Record of
Emergency Data, SGLI, and Flight Itinerary (if
applicable).
Review message traffic for orders, screenings, and for
other pay and personnel messages (NAVADMINS,
Military Pay Announcements (MPAs) and Pay and
Personnel Information Bulletin).
Review and submit separation packages within 45
days of separation or terminal leave date. (If member is
under PCS orders please ensure you cancel PCS orders
before requesting Separation orders.) ** As a CPPA
you need to coordinate with your CLA/TSC to ensure
that all leave is posted prior to their departure. **
Monthly
Verify and review your FSA/HDIP/IDP and any
other for those that are in a TAD/TDY status for accuracy
and to ensure entitlements are started and stopped in a
timely manner.
Review your PERSTEMPO. Ensure those that have
returned from TAD are annotated and Salesforce
transactions are submitted to adjust pay and entitlements.
Review your CSPP tickler and submit Salesforce
transactions for those that are entitled to CSPP.
Attend CPPA training provided by
TSC.
Annually
Ensure command reviews and submits annual SDAP
recertification prior to deadline given in NAVADMIN.
Page 2 Verification
Validate / Verify RED/DA annually, prior to PCS
Transfer, upon reporting to new PDS, and prior to
deployment.
Weekly
Review current and upcoming reenlistments. Verify
that you have received pending contracts and submitted
signed contracts via Salesforce (within 24 hours of
reenlistment, unless reenlistment takes place over a
weekend then submit on the next working day).
** It is vitally important to communicate with the
CCC on upcoming reenlistments. **
Review the status of Travel Claims submitted via
Salesforce.
Send out reminders to those that have pending items
that need to be turned into you.

 Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation (DoDFMR), Volume 7A, Chapter 26, 2605
 OPNAVINST 7220.12 (series)
 Current Military Pay Advisories (MPAs)
• BAH Key Supporting Documents (KSDs):
 RED/DA if there is a change of dependency status
 NAVPERS 1070/613 for BAH Statement of Understanding (SOU)
 Approved NAVPERS 1331/7 Special Request Chit
 Lease
o NOTE 1: Central Billeting/Combined Bachelor Housing (CBH) has final approval authority on requests
for Single BAH. The Central Billeting/CBH approval date must match the Commanding Officer’s
approval date to avoid BAH underpayment. If the Member’s request is placed on hold due to waiting list
or occupancy requirements, start date to be used is the CBH approval date. If the Member is currently
residing in CBH and checks-out from the Central Billeting/CBH after the CO’s approval date, the
effective date is the Central Billeting/CBH check-out date.
o NOTE 2: A Member who was previously married and then divorced is NOT automatically entitled to
Single-BAH. The Member must have Command and Central Billeting/CBH approval to receive single-
BAH.
• BAH Process: Provided as an example, always refer to SOP
1. Single members paid as E5 or E4 over four years must route a special request chit through Chain of
Command (CoC).
2. Married members need to update RED/DA. (No chit required).
3. Chit approved through CoC. Route to the base Central Billeting Office (CBO).
4. When received from CBO, CPPA will review entire package for accuracy.
5. (Single) CPPA submits NAVPERS 1070/13 SOU, approved request chit, lease, and LES to verify member
paid E5 or E4 over four years.
6. (Married) CPPA submits NAVPERS 1070/13 SOU, updated RED/DA.

18
• Timeliness:
 Usually takes two pay cycles to process. CPPA continues to track through MMPA until completion.
• BAH Common problems:
 No BAH PG 13
 Incorrect Key Supporting Documents (KSDs)
 Not submitted in a timely fashion
 Not following the SOP provided in link above
 Over or under payment due to PCS

19
Meal Deductions
CO Best Practices: Confirm items 1-2 below in “Meal Deduction Process” are complete and
accurate before signing approval memorandum. Follow-up by reviewing the UCFR.

• Meal Deduction Key Supporting Documents (KSDs):
 Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders endorsed with all intermediate and gaining commands.
 Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) orders and endorsements.
 Locally generated command memorandum with Ship/Unit sailing list signed by appropriate authority
certifying entitlement to Rations In Kind (RIK) or BAS, as appropriate.
 NAVPERS 1070/602 (particularly to document status changes).
 Approved individual requests to discontinue RIK and start BAS.
• Meal Deduction process: Provided as an example, always refer to SOP
1. Create memorandum from CO to appropriate Transaction Support Center (TSC), starting or stopping Meal
Deduction.
2. Review TAD orders for accuracy. Ensure the orders are endorsed by the temporary command/activity
(check-in and check-out dates). CPPA will review documents for accuracy and submit memorandum to start
or stop meal deduction or credit missed meals with TAD orders.
• Timeliness:
 Usually takes two pay cycles to process. CPPA continues to track until completion.

20
Sea Duty Incentive Pay (SDIP)
CO Best Practices: Review SDIP approval message, confirm the correct SDIP request is being
submitted, is within required timelines, and the Page 13 generated aligns with the approval
message to include required verbiage. Follow-up by reviewing UCFR.
Link for information on SDIP:
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/SDIP/
• SDIP Key Supporting Documents (KSDs):
 SDIP approval message
 SDIP NAVPERS 1070/13
• SDIP Requests:
 SDIP requests are submitted to your specific Rating Detailer using a NAVPERS 1306/7, with command
endorsement.
o SDIP‐E requests (submitted 14-16 months prior to PRD) must state that you request to extend at‐sea
with SDIP for a specific period of time, i.e., 12 months, 17 months, 24 months, etc.
o SDIP‐B requests (submitted 14-16 months prior to PRD) must state that you are requesting a back‐to‐
back sea tour with SDIP for a specific period.
o SDIP‐C requests (submitted six months prior to desire detach date) must state that you desire to
curtail shore duty indicating the specific month and year you are requesting to detach your current
command with SDIP benefits.
 Requests MUST NOT contain statements indicating assignment to specific commands or geographic
locations as these are grounds for disapproval.
 SDIP requests are required to be submitted prior to Service Member entering their orders negotiating
window.
• SDIP Approved Requests:
 Following receipt of approval message by the command, member’s current command is responsible for
preparing and having the member sign and date an Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613), as
instructed in the approval message, retaining a copy in the member’s service record. Forward scanned copy
to PERS-40DD via email to MILL_SDIP@navy.mil or fax to (901) 874-2647 or DSN 882-2647, not to the
rating detailer. Payment will not be processed if PERS-40DD does not receive the NAVPERS 1070/613.
Entering the SDIP NAVPERS 1070/613 into the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) does
not satisfy the requirement of providing a scanned copy to PERS-40DD.

21
• SDIP Timeliness:
 SDIP‐B or SDIP‐C payments are made within two pay periods of the Sailor having been properly gained on
board the sea duty command for which SDIP was approved if the SDIP Page 13 has been received.
 SDIP‐E payments are made in one lump‐sum within two pay periods of the extension effective date which
begins one month after the Sailor’s original PRD.
 SDIP payment transactions are forwarded to DFAS on the first‐of‐the‐month and mid‐month only.
 Payments will normally reflect in the Sailor’s Financial Institution within two pay periods of being forwarded
to DFAS.
 Payments do not follow normal payday dates and will not appear on the LES until after payment has been
made. If the Page 13 is not received pursuant to policy and the original SDIP Payment Date has passed, the
new payment date will be set for two pay periods after the Page 13 is received.

10. CPPA continues to monitor MyNavy Assignment to ensure member is detached from UIC.

33
• Transfer Timeliness:
 Transfer Package should be submitted NLT 14 days prior to transfer and NTE 30 days..
• Transfer Common Problems:
 Missing documentation or unsigned documentation.
 Transfer Package not submitted back to CPPA by date set.
 Transfer Package not sent to TSC.
 Incorrect information inputted in Salesforce (wrong dates, ie: date of transfer vs flight date)
o NOTE: Transfers that are not handled correctly result in the Sailor not being transferred from
current commands billet structure, they will then show up as expired gains for their prospective
commands, and depending on location they can be overpaid or underpaid until the issue is fully
resolved. This also creates more work for the gaining command as they have to work with My
Navy Career Center (MNCC) to get the member properly detached from the losing command so
the member can be gained. This is not a short process and results in pay problems for Sailors.
o Transaction Support Centers are aware that sometimes orders are short fused. Call MNCC and inform
them of the Salesforce reference number and they will ensure your transactions are prioritized.

Reenlistment
CO Best Practices: Review NAVPERS 1336/3 or locally prepared reenlistment request form for
accuracy. Monitor MyNavy Assignment to ensure service member’s EAOS updated.

SOP

37
• Reenlistment Common problems:
 Documentation not submitted within 24 hours of reenlistment, or not submitted at all.
 CWAY not approved in the system.
 SRB not paid due to late submission.
• NOTE: If members are reenlisting within 3 months of their EAOS or close to their original EAOS, have
the CPPA inform TSC so they can extend the member on the pay side (TU04) which helps prevent pay and
entitlement pause that can lead to financial burden

38
Personnel Manning
CO Best Practices: Review personnel manning, both authorizations and requirements, with the unit’s
Admin Officer on a monthly basis. Submit PERSMARS and/or Crew Stabilization Letters in
preparation for deployments. Monitor MyNavy Assignment for PRD management. Refer to
OPNAVINST 1300.21 for Enlisted Manning Policies and Procedures which provides helpful guidance
when experiencing manning shortfalls and actions to take to resolve them
References:
 BUPERSINST 1080.54
 COMFLTFORCOM/COMNAVPERSCOMINST 1300.1 (series)
 SUBPERSMAN 1306.1 (series)
• Projected Rotation Date (PRD) Management:
 PRD Initial Establishment:
o Assigned by NPC Detailer per Sea-Shore Flow/Rotation when writing Permanent Change of Station
(PCS) orders.
o PRD will not normally be changed once established, unless there is a change made to the sea/shore tour
length for an entire community.
o All PRDs are based upon distribution rates/Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs), except for overseas
areas, which are based on DoD requirements, and spouse collocation assignments.
o PRD is determined without regard to Obligated Service (OBLISERV), except for an overseas tour.
o Estimated Date of Loss Navy (EDLN date will override the PRD).
 Manning Milestones:
o Nuclear Commands Specific: Crew Stabilization Letter (CSL). This provides PERS-403 with a request
for Projected Rotation Date (PRD) adjustments to support the Ship’s Operational Schedule.
o Contact detailing ship, PERS-403 prior to submittal of CSL, (901) 874-3626. This discussion tends to
eliminate roadblocks and results in favorable PERS actions.
 PRD Adjustments:
o PERS 4013 Placement Coordinators will adjust PRDs when:
 Adjustment is required to maintain command readiness (usually during Personnel Manning Report
(PERSMAR) cycle).
 Discrepancies are identified by the Placement coordinator during conduct of the Enlisted Distribution
and Verification Process (EDVP).

39
 A member’s separation intentions are validated in Career Navigator.
o PERS 40 Detailers adjudicate PRD adjustment requests submitted via NAVPERS 1306/7.
o PRD discussed in depth in MILPERSMAN 1306-104.
 Examples of these additional PRD adjustments are:
o Members with the intent to separate whose PRD is greater that End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS).
o PRDs that occur during operation periods causing Operational Holds (OPHOLDs).
o Members that have less than 60 months at sea and no relief identified. (If a member is close to or at 60
months at sea, a NAVERS 1306/7 is required with the member’s signature, agreeing to surpass 60
months.)
• Rating Alignments:
 This action is performed to ensure all personnel in any particular rating are aligned to the correct paygrade
or aligned in a manner to support new accession assignments.
 The below graphic shows a STS2 billet that is open, and a STS2 in an STS3 billet, the correct action is to
contact placement, have the STS2 moved up to the STS2 billet to create accession for the new STSSN to
report.
• My Navy Assignment (MNA):
 Displays an accurate picture of the Ship’s manning for readiness. Manning shortfalls will reflect the need for
actions required to maintain personnel readiness while providing an accurate picture are:
o Career Development Boards (CDBs) details Sailor’s commitment and intentions.
o Career counseling to understand the needs and ultimate desires of the Sailor.
o Request billet advertisement to servicing Submarine Readiness Squadron/TYCOM via ISIC.

40
• Common Problems:
 Nuclear Personnel Specific: The misunderstanding that Nuclear Personnel are aligned to Paygrade. All
Nuclear trained personnel other than the EDMC are either Operators or Supervisors, regardless of pay grade.
If your MMN2 has a supervisory NEC SVM needs to be aligned to the billet associated with that specific
NEC.
 Personnel within divisions are misaligned, suppressing paygrade balance.
 Prevention of the distribution system to identify the need for replacements causing gapped billets.
 Failing to request PRD adjustment prior to Sailor entering PRD windows.
 Failing to Realign Sailors after advancement cycles.
 Failing to match PRD to EAOS between 13 and 12 months of EAOS. Earlier realignment requires submittal
of NAVPERS 1306/7.
 Failing to submit CSL at least 12 months prior to event, (Deployment / Change of Homeport)
 Failing to submit PERSMAR
• Best Practices:
 Early and often communication with ISIC/TYCOM and NPC Placement Coordinators to discuss manning
concerns.
 Communicate and discuss NEC and Manning Deficiencies and execute mitigation plans to prevent future
gaps during Department Head meeting and PB4T.

41
Record of Emergency Data / Dependency Application (RED/DA)
CO Best Practices: During check-in and check-out process, remind service member of the importance
of updating RED/DA information. Retain a copy of RED/DA in command files while assigned and 90
days after transfer and 180 days after separation/retirement

on family members and elect various beneficiaries. See MILPERSMAN 1070-271 (RED) to
complete and file an updated DD 93.
o NOTE 2: The NAVPERS 1070/602 must reflect that the Member has legal court ordered custody if
the Member is receiving dependent BAH or must reflect the monthly amount of support. The fact
that the child is residing with the Member is NOT authority to credit dependent BAH unless the
Member has legal court ordered custody. Ref: JTR, Ch. 10. and PPIB 10-12.
• Policy: Dependency data shall be verified and updated (if necessary) by each Member on active duty
upon:
 Detaching / reporting on PCS orders.
 Prior to unit deployment / patrols.
 Gain / Loss of a family member (marriage, divorce, birth, death, dependent child over 21 etc.).
 Change of address.
 Fleet Reserve/ Retirement.

42
 Claiming reimbursement for dependents travel.
• RED/DA Process: Provided as an example, always refer to SOP
 CPPA Required Actions:
o Advise Member of utmost importance in maintaining the accuracy of the NAVPERS 1070/602.
o Ensure Member verifies NAVPERS 1070/602 via ESR or OMPF. It is the Member’s responsibility to
ensure this document reflects up-to-date and complete information, as well as to provide applicable
documents.
o Ensure updates are submitted to TSC via secure transmittal. Once final document is approved by Sailor
and signed, forward documents to TSC via secure transmittal.
o The command shall retain a signed NAVPERS 1070/602 on file for each assigned Sailor, for 90 days
after Transfer and 180 days after Separation/Fleet Reserve.
o When a Sailor designates a portion or none of the death gratuity to the spouse:
 Refer to MILPERSMAN 1770-280 to prepare the Spouse Notice of Designation letter for the CDR,
CO, OIC signature.
 Mail the original letter to the spouse and e-submit the copied letter to OMPF via Salesforce.
• The following is a path to step by step instructions on how Sailors can complete the RED/DA process.

Release from Active Duty (RAD)
CO Best Practices: Separations and retirements are service member driven. Ensure the CPPA and
CCC are very involved with the processes to ensure a smooth transition from Active Duty to the Fleet
reserve, or assist with the separation process in general. Pay grades E-6 and below should submit
request 6 to 18 months prior to requested Fleet Reserve transfer date. Pay grades E-7 – E-9 should
submit the request 6 to 24 months prior to the requested Fleet Reserve transfer date. Officer requests
should be submitted 9 to 12 months in advance of retirement date if retirement date does not coincide
with PRD to allow ample time to identify relief for retiring officer.

o Pay grades E-6 and below should submit request 6 to 18 months prior to requested Fleet Reserve transfer
date.
o Pay grades E-7 – E-9 should submit the request 6 to 24 months prior to the requested Fleet Reserve
transfer date.
 Enlisted Retirement Request should be submitted 24 months prior to the requested date.

46
 Officer Retirement:
o Request should be submitted to PERS-8353 9 to 12 months in advance of retirement date if retirement
date does not coincide with PRD to allow ample time to identify relief for retiring officer, otherwise
submit request 6-9 months in advance of retirement date. Retirement requests submitted more than 12
months in advance of retirement date will not be accepted.
 CPPA actions are to follow the NPPSC 1800/1 (Current Rev).
o NOTE: Separations and retirements are Service Member driven. The CPPA and CCC should
be very involved with both processes to ensure the Sailor has a smooth transition from Active
Duty to the Fleet reserve, or assist Service Members with the Separation process in general.
The CPPA and CCC should reference the SOPs.
