SGT Private RallyPoint Member 6881904 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was promoted to SGT on 1 March 2021 per my ERB and the promotion list. According to my LES I received backpay from 8 March 2021 onward and received the difference in my EOM LES. When I submitted an inquiry I was told by Finance that 8 March is the day they processed my promotion so therefore I got paid from 8 March instead of 1 March as a SGT. <br /><br />Question is, wouldn’t my pay be based on DOR and not the processing date according to s1? Should my pay be based on my DOR or the processing date according to S-1? 2021-04-06T13:01:15-04:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 6881904 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Was promoted to SGT on 1 March 2021 per my ERB and the promotion list.

It should have a date of rank and effective date. If the effective date is 8Mar21 then finance is correct.
