To read your Pay Report

When schedules for the upcoming month are awarded you will see them in the bid system (PBS). They will then be placed into IOCC/Netline. The block value and detail of each pairing will be transferred into the Rainmaker Payroll System. The value of each pairing will be listed per day and the total of the pairing days should equal the value of the awarded trip. You may click on the Pairing numberby day to see additional details of the trip (city pairs/value of segments/Deadheads).

You may see several “buckets” that your hours will be separated into with a total at both the top and bottom of the first page. As an example:

REG=All regular hours flown.

MIN=Balance of the hours needed to bring you legs for the day to a minimum day of 3:30 hours.

DHD=Deadhead value, paid at 75% of flight time.

RSV=Value of Reserve Day or Airport Ready Reserve.

SICK=Block value of pairing or Reserve day call out (3:30).

VAC=Vacation pay of 3:00 per day.

PROT=Pay protection for cancelled segments.

PREM=Pay for Junior Man or Critical Pay.

The columns are then added together to make your total hours due. The totals are listed as both decimals (upper) and hour/minute(lower) format. You will also see TXPD=taxable per diem and NTXPD= non-taxable per diem for each day.

The lower section(second page) displays the “Report Totals” for the month and your “Credit Hours Due” will be displayed here i.e.74.33(74:20). This total is the sum of your hours for the month. Some of the Buckets you may see:

MMG=Minimum Monthly Guarantee

CRTG= Credits toward bid guarantee

CDHRS= Sum of all credits due

GADJ= Sum of your bid period AJGTE, SICU, OJIU unpaid credits.

AJGAR=Actual bid period guarantee adjusted for GADJ

GCOMP=credits due to bring a Crew Member to their ADJGAR

ABVGTE=Sum of Premium pay buckets

OPNADJ= net open time adjustments to Guarantee

You will receive your “Primary Payment” on the 27th of the current month. This will be for 37.5 hours, provided you are projected to work at least 37.5 hours. The check will be dated for the period of the 1st-15th of the month. Your second check will be for the “Remaining Payment” or sometimes referred to as your settlement check.It will include the balance of your hours worked (over 37.5) in the month, and your per diem hours due. This check will be issued on the 13th of the following month.

The best way to track your hours so you are paid properly is to print out (or snapshot) your hours in Rainmaker at the beginning of the month, or prior to each trip if you swap/add/drop trips. Compare that to what Rainmaker has after the trip is flown to insure you are being paid block or better. If you find errors, place a comment into the “Crew Comment” box with a description of what the error is and select Save

Your entry will turn Red and thePayroll Departmentwill review, correct and/or enter their comments into the “office Comment” box. The review process may take Payroll several days and must be completed prior to the last day of the month. This will insure your hours are properly credited and paid for in the month. It is best to log into Rainmaker after each tripflown and again before month end to allow time for review and corrections, if required.

Please keep in mind your Duty Plan in IOCC/Netline is your official schedule and Rainmaker is used to generate a pay report for your schedule.

*Your Duty Plan may not reflect the correct trip value due to min day differences and possible IOCC/Netline miscalculations, therefor should NOT be used for comparison of hours worked versus paid.
