Payment
23. Sponsored Reserves who are called-up will continue
to be paid by their employer, rather than receive payment direct
from the MoD for the duration of the call out period. The MoD
have been advised that this is to safeguard continued civilian
employment and associated benefits such as seniority and pension
rights.[81]
However, as the MoD explain, the legal basis for the award of
fines and stoppages against Service personnel assumes that they
are in receipt of Service pay. Therefore changes have had to be
made to the Territorial Army Regulations to allow for the collection
of fines.[82]
As with the Territorial Army, Sponsored Reserves will also be
eligible for training bounty.[83]
