Employment verification will show year by year your base salary, on the right side (behold your sweet $200 a year raises, compressed under or about PO salary, 97K friends). As of 12/10/2024, there should be a base salary of 130something listed, top pay. If theres not, thats no good.

 Not even close to 130 for 12/10/24. Fkng SBA

employment verification has me at 153,000 (was going to hit top pay 9/26). seems right to me, it will probably be 160,000 this December.

 I was going to hit top pay 9/3 and it only shows $143 for me. There is no rhyme or reason to this.

yeah mine has night diff factored in

Damn, it really going to be 50%??

Quick question since we are on the topic of retro. Has anyone ever had an issue with their night diff, fought the good fight with central payroll and won? I have been steady 1720s for a year now, I was temp transferred at first and was changed to hourly night diff instead of recurring. I was perm assigned in feb and my payroll assured me the paperwork was sent to central payroll to have me changed and I would receive retro for all the times I was docked night diff anytime I had court, a 28, avp, etc. Im losing a good amount of money and Im fed up with how the NYPD does payroll. Has anyone had this issue before and actually saw their money get paid back? Thanks guys!

I was permanently transferred to my unit back in February after they fixed the whole telephone message transfer mess.  Ive been there over 2 years doing a 1600 start.  The transfer knocked me out of night diff and almost cost me my mortgage application because I was suddenly making like $10k a year less.  The mortgage company told me to fix it ASAP and I made 100 phones calls and emails to get it expedited.  I was put back in recurring night shift yesterday lol.

I honestly think it was them going in and bumping my salary that finally pushed it through.

Thanks Chuck, when I look at my mortgage verification it now says recurring night diff, I also attribute it to the salary bump to top pay. Is there any chance Ill ever see my retro from all the money that was taken from me or should I chalk it up to a loss and consider it another gift from the NYPD and the city of New York?

---

 I would call central payroll and bug them every pay period that money doesn't not come through. Dont chalk up anything, its money that you earned!

 Its an extra 5% off Hershey park tickets. You guys are blessed to have such a great union. 

That doesnt make any sense and the bit about Hershey Park makes me think its a joke.

That being said, it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world to get it in a separate check on the 10th. I have a lot of ordered OT on tonights check that I didnt want because I knew it was going in the retro check. If I got that check and the retro check separate, with August already being a three check month I might finally be in decent shape financially.

Just curious, how did everyones check look today?

Mine was much higher than expected, about $2500 in holiday retro for 7 checks.

I just want to make sure thats right and they didnt overpay me with money theyre gonna come looking for later

Yeah I knew about the retro it was just more than I expected.

Almost $900 per check since the jump to top pay is crazy and makes me even more pissed off that they fucked us out of a year and a half of that
