The Marine Corps Military Pay System:

Too Many Errors And Inefficiencies





The Marine Corps Joint Uniform Military Pay
System/Manpower Management System was
authorized in 1966 and implemented in 1973.
Although millions of dollars have been spent
on the system, as a central system to com-
pute Marine Corps members' pay accurately
and on time, it is still unreliable and inef-
ficient. For example, about 19 percent of
the pay accounts audited were in error by
an average of $103 and disbursing personnel
salaries and benefits cost over $7 million
more each year under the automated system
than under the prior manual system. A
significant factor in the increased cost is
that many manual procedures have been
retained to correct errors the automated
system makes.


The Marine Corps plans to spend additional
millions of dollars to replace the current
system with a more sophisticated one in
the 1985-90 time frame. But unless the cur-
rent system is improved and Department of
Defense monitoring of the Marine Corps' sys-
tem development and implementation is im-
proved, many deficiencies in the current sys-
tem will be carried over to the new one.
