Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses military retirement. Concerned about its ability to retain personnel, the Department of Defense (DOD) has proposed pay and retirement changes in its fiscal year 2000 budget. The pay proposal includes a 4.4 percent, across-the-board raise and pay table reform that will target increases to noncommissioned officers and mid-grade commissioned officers. The retirement change proposed by DOD is essentially a partial repeal of the 1986 Military Retirement Reform Act, which is commonly called "Redux." After providing background on the differences among the various military retirement systems and how those differences came into being, it will address (1) changes being proposed by DOD; (2) areas where we believe more information is needed; and (3) the opportunity to take a long-term, strategic view of the military compensation system. But first, it will summarize our observations regarding DOD's proposed changes to the military retirement system. Overall, we see no clear indication that the proposed change to the retirement system, which would cost an estimated $13 billion in increased costs and unfunded liabilities, will address the retention issue. While the recently reported downturn in retention rates is of concern, the nature of the retention problem is not clear. Is the problem widespread or is it concentrated in certain military occupations or year groups? Is it a transitory problem attributable to such factors as reduced accessions during the drawdown and the strong economy, or is it the beginning of a long-term problem that will affect the military for the foreseeable future? Understanding the nature of the retention problem is critical in choosing solutions-pockets of problems are best treated with targeted rather than across-the-board solutions, and transitory problems are best treated with actions that can be reversed or eliminated once the problem has receded.

Book excerpt: "The comprehensive study of military compensation undertaken by the Department of Defense is now nearing completion. This memorandum contains a summary of the major recommendations and findings on pay and allowances for military personnel, and is transmitted to provide a basis for panel consideration at a meeting which I understand will take place in December. The essential function of the military pay system is to attract and retain sufficient qualified personnel to sustain our military forces at required levels of effectiveness. Consequently, in the first phases of our work we conducted an exhaustive analysis of our current and prospective manning situation." -- leaf 1.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this analysis is to determine the potential effects of the major proposed changes to the Military Retirement System. This analysis is limited to the effects on the military officer corps under the five combinations of percentage reduction and salary averaging formulae that have been proposed for The New Nondisability Military Retirement System. The impact on equivalent salary and retirement benefits of these proposed changes will be significant. However, both the current military compensation and the retirement benefits will exceed current civilian standards in these areas even under the most drastic proposed changes. The major conclusion is that the Military Retirement System is not flexible enough to permit personnel managers to accomplish their management goals. The proposed changes to the system do not promise any greater flexibility. (Author).

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military retirement reform has been a central element of the policy debate regarding why and how to restructure the system for compensating members of the U.S. armed forces. Concerns about the compensation system, and the retirement system specifically, include the rising cost of military compensation and the need for greater efficiency in the provision of compensation, the greater need for flexibility to reshape the force as missions change in ways that challenge the current compensation system, and issues related to the equity of military retirement benefits of active versus reserve personnel, junior versus senior personnel, and military personnel versus their civilian counterparts. Active members can claim retirement benefits before reservists can; junior members who leave prior to completing 20 years of service do not qualify for retirement benefits, unlike their more senior counterparts; and the 20-year vesting rule is outside the civilian vesting norm of 5-7 years of service, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The 10th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (QRMC), building on previous studies and commission reports, including the 2006 report of the Defense Advisory Committee on Military Compensation (DoD, 2006) and the 2000 report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Human Resources Strategy, has proposed an alternative military retirement system that addresses concerns regarding the current system while still sustaining the force. The defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans are the foundation of the alternative system considered in this analysis. RAND was asked to develop a modeling capability to assess compensation alternatives, such as the QRMC proposal, in terms of their effects on military retention, retirement behavior, vesting, cost, reserve participation, and the value of compensation from the perspective of the member leaving active duty. This monograph presents the results of that study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military compensation system costs about $40 billion a year. No overall guiding policy or principle for compensating military personnel has been established. The private sector is the standard for setting and adjusting federal civilian pay. In order to attract, retain, and motivate the quality and quantity of military members necessary to maintain the desired level of national security at a minimum cost to the government, a decision must be reached on the method of implementation for military pay principles. Two alternative approaches have been suggested: comparability and competitiveness. Comparability approaches use wage surveys of other workers as a guide to setting and adjusting pay based on age-earnings profiles and job difficulty. Competitive approaches are based on the principle that compensation should be adequate to attract and retain the desired quantity and quality of personnel, but should not be more than necessary for this purpose. Comparability approaches provide stability and security to service members, but lack flexibility to adjust to changing manpower needs. Competitive approaches provide the flexibility necessary to adjust compensation to changing military manpower needs; however, they lack a clearly defined level of stability to ensure members that their pay will remain roughly comparable to pay for federal civilians and private sector employees. A combination of the best qualities of both comparability and competitiveness may be necessary to satisfy the need for stability and flexibility in the military compensation system. The Department of Defense, the services, and the Office of Management and Budget are subjected to competing pressures which make any future agreement on military pay principles unlikely. A permanent, independent compensation board would be better able to reach an agreement on military pay principles.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent legislative changes to military compensation do not generally represent erosions of benefits or reductions in total military compensation. Changes to the military compensation system generally represent management actions to eliminate inefficient practices, institute management efficiencies, and provide for more effective use of resources. Military personnel believe their compensation is being unjustifiably reduced, and they consistently underestimate their regular and total military compensation. Although the Department of Defense provides information to service members on benefit issues and changes to compensation elements, service members apparently do not rely as heavily on this information as on compensation items appearing in the news media.
