LehmanJr. 111111111111 IJr. Secretary of the Navy 125340 Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: Survey of Actions to Correct Problems with the Navy's Military Pay System (GAO/AFMD-85-05) We have completed a survey of the actions the Navy has taken or planned to correct the long-standing, serious problems being experienced with the Navy's Joint Uniform Military Pay System (JUMPS). Our survey disclosed that the planned actions will have some impact on correcting JUMPS problems, but additional changes are necessary for the Navy's reforms to be fully effective. These changes include paying personnel to the nearest dollar or the exact amount due, incorporating retroactive payments into the pay compu- tations, and making the computation twice a month. Also, the Navy should adopt a supplemental pay policy in lieu of its current over- ride policy. These changes will reduce the extensive manual recon- ciliation by field disbursing officers and provide central control over pay at the Navy Finance Center. The Navy plans to have, by April 1985, a central pay computa- tion system for those personnel choosing the electronic fund trans- fer of pay to their bank. For the most part, this system will incorporate the above changes. We believe that the planned central pay computation system should be used for all active duty personnel regardless of whether they choose electronic transfer of their pay. We have briefed the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Finan- cial Management and Navy Finance Center officials on the need for these changes. They agreed with our findings and believe these changes can be made. BACKGROUND In response to a November 1966, Department of Defense direc- tive, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps each established its own JUMPS that were subsequently approved by the Comptroller General. The Navy's version of JUMPS is a computerized payroll system with the master pay accounts maintained by the Navy Finance Center in Cleveland, Ohio. (903065) O~c~Yj
