Request for workshop held at PPC
Request for on-site visit: Our Workshops are available for delivery at any unit provided there are space and resources available. We require paid travel for two instructors and ask that there be sufficient room and equipment to deliver the best possible experience to those attending. To request our services, please complete the request at http://www.uscg.mil/ppc/docs/onsiterequest.pdf and send it by e-mail to PPC-PF-PD@uscg.mil or by fax to (785) 339-3780. Each year we receive several requests from units and we try to accommodate as many as our limited staff can handle in addition to our own PPC Workshop offerings. Sometimes we are unable to commit to several units due to scheduling and staffing. To help remedy this situation we will post all of our scheduled on-site deliveries and POC information to afford every unit the opportunity to gain access to the workshops and maintain responsible accounting of valuable training dollars. We strongly encourage all units to work together and communicate to decrease duplication of travel.

Workshop Descriptions

Human Resource Systems:

Course Materials

This redesigned workshop is focused on the new Direct Access Servicing Personnel Office User Manual. The format of this workshop is open discussion forum with exercises that allow data entry in a Direct Access test environment. There are case scenarios and student accounts for both Direct Access and JUMPS so attendees can work through a situation in class and see the end result in JUMPS, creating a positive learning environment. Topic selection was based on a combination of previous student survey input, issues provided by PPC Customer Care, and identified problem areas from PPC (MAS) and (SES) branches. Due to popular demand, we have incorporated Travel systems back into the curriculum and will focus on the newly released Web based TPAX.

Topics include:

Military Pay Communications (DA, JUMPS and LES)
Service Contracts and Separations
Pay Entitlements
Corrections and Deletions
PCS (Orders, Departing/Reporting Endorsements, DA, and JUMPS)
Advances, Special Payments, and Cash Deposits
Reserves - SPO issues
Bonuses (Enlistment, SRB, CSB, and SELRES)
Debt Liquidation (How, when, and why)
Travel - Web TPAX

Reserve Component (RC) Member Workshop

THE RESERVIST -

Course Materials

The Pay and Personnel Center, Procedures and Development branch proudly announce the 2012 schedule for the Reserve Member Workshop.

This workshop is designed specifically for Reserve members. The topics covered are based on inquiries and requests for information from Reservists.

Topics include:

Direct Access and Self Service
Understanding the Reserve Retirement Points Statement
Requesting Reserve Orders (IDT, ADT, ADOS)
Understanding & Verifying the Leave and Earnings Statement (LES)/Direct Access View My Paycheck Page
Selected Reserve (SELRES) Enlisted Bonus Programs
Reserve Advancements (SWE/PDE)
Release From Active Duty (RELAD)
Retirement/RC-SBP
Wage and Tax Statements (IRS – W2)
Travel (Web TPAX)

This workshop does not provide Service Personnel Office data entry procedures. However, for active duty personnel, it is an excellent introduction to the Reserve program. All who attend will come away with a better understanding of how the Coast Guard’s pay and personnel systems function to provide accurate and timely compensation to members of the Reserve component.

PPC hosted workshops are held in Topeka, KS. Each convening has 15 seats. There is no cost to attend PPC hosted workshops. Travel and per diem cost is born by the benefiting unit. Government quarters and messing are not available.

Use the quota request at http://www.uscg.mil/ppc/docs/classroomrequest.pdf, to register to attend one of the PPC hosted workshops (e-mail the completed form to PPC-PF-PD@uscg.mil or fax it to (785) 339-3780).

Reserve component members should ensure funding for orders and travel is approved before submitting requests. Chapter 3-c of the Reserve Policy Manual, COMDTINST M1001.28(series) provides guidance for requesting ADT or ADT-OTD orders for resident training for Reserve component members.
