This report presents results of an effort to determine how the U.S. Army might modernize special and incentive pays to better reward Army aviators’ career advancement while cost-effectively achieving retention objectives.
The U.S. Army is looking to modernize its special and incentive (S&I) pays to increase their efficiency in improving retention and incentivizing greater performance. Specifically for aviator S&I pays, the Army is considering proposals that would make S&I pays contingent on achieving specific career milestones. Such a policy would aim to not only sustain retention but also target compensation to individual qualifications and talent.
