Reconciling Pay Statement with Pay Owed
 

I'm finding it difficult to reconcile my pay statement with what I expect to get paid. I wondered what workflows people use to verify that they get paid what they thought they should get paid.

There are so many variables: Aircraft variant, international/domestic, reroute pay, white slip pay, green slip pay (I wish!), training pay, reserve guarantee and per diem are just some off the top of my head.

Then there are the tools the company gives us such as pay statements, , My PAS on Deltanet, time card on icrew.

How do folks make sure they are getting paid correctly?

The bigger the check the less we look because the pwa pay language looks like...

I look at my time card in icrew to make sure any hours I was expecting are on there. I have found mistakes but they were easily fixed with a call to crew scheduling. Honestly never looked closely at per diem to see if that’s correct. The pas shows you what variant you were credited where and what you were paid. The pay statement in icrew shows your average rate for the month per minute....out to like six decimal places if you really need that much fidelity.

I calculate my flight pay and per diem using the iCrew timecard. Then I wait until the 15th to see how close I am. Deductions are available via your open enrollment confirmation statement. Taxes are a wag. ALPA is 1.9%.

Sometimes I'm within dollars on the flight pay and pennies on the per diem.

Pay statement: Worthless.

PAS: I use it in lieu of a logbook. It also allows you to see how well you know the contract/can hustle vs other pilots as it breaks down soft pay/premium pay ... vs the average.
