So as of yesterday we entered the JPA era - so far so good. But we cannot get on to do anything until 13 Novemeber and then only to check our details, change password and enter memorable data. We cannot actually make any changes until 27 November by which time it will be too late to make any changes which will get into Novembers Pay - so you could be light fro crimbo! The RAF had a real nightmare when they went live are we confodent that we won't find orselves in the same mess in which case it could be a pretty poor christmas for anyone whose pay is really screwed up.
