2026 Q1 Newsletter – Payroll Committee Update

Payroll Committee Update

The payroll committee now has 2 new members, Sam Seidman and Lance Blight and we are looking to bring on 1 or 2 more. Contact gharris@apa2118.org if interested. Otherwise, please contact the committee for all assistance at payroll@apa2118.org from your personal email with your contact information (including phone number) handy. If you have a JIRA response, which we highly recommend before you contact the committee, forward that to yourself and then to us. It is easier for us to QA crew payroll’s corrections than it is to analyze a grossly incorrect pay report. From that we will answer or contact you with additional questions to understand the sequence of events. Please click [here] for our full committee update.

Sick calls with insufficient sick balance

• The current pay system cannot automatically apply partial sick hours to a pairing. If your sick balance as of the next month’s mid period paystub will be insufficient to cover a sick call within current month, but you want sick used to the extent possible, do a JIRA.
  • Ex: Pilot calls in sick for a 7 hour trip in March. Their end of March paystub shows 3 hours of sick pay. They can add 2 hours for what they’ll have on April 15th (5 hours), but this still does not cover the 7 hours. If the pilot does no JIRA they will lose all 7 hours, deducted from guarantee if <70 hours. If they do a JIRA, they will receive 5 PCH and -2 DTG and their sick bank will go to zero.

ABG and sub 70 hour lines – remember, transactions during SAP are not ABG

• Merlot does not identify initial award line credit value when schedules come out. View Bid Award on G4 connect for actual PCH value factoring in things like duty rig, half DH, etc. to know if you are at or below 70.
• Reassignments and over blocking are also not ABG if < 70 hours.

Access to pay post employment if departing

• HRSystems@allegiantair.com can set you up with post employment UKG access for final paystubs, W-2s, etc.
• Additionally, Download and save your final pay report; or email crew.payroll@allegiantair.com to get final audit.
  • These can be complicated and you may need to reach out to our committee for assistance, but try and follow the below guidance first.
  • How to evaluate pay when leaving:
    • As one example, a pilot might leave effective April 20. Prior to leaving, their pay sheet shows 70 hours guarantee and they had picked up 11 ABG, 3 PREM, and 4 VFN.
    • April 15, before they leave they should get April 1-15 35 hours plus March Overages.
• Usually within a week or two from leaving, they’ll get:
  • Prorated Guarantee for April 16-20th (5 days x monthly guarantee/days in bid month regular pay). This equates to 11.67 hours.
  • 11 ABG, 3 PREM, 4 VFN.
  • Unused vacation payout

Minus Values on UKG paystubs

• Pilots continue to have confusion with negative values being applied on paystubs.
  • For example, a pilot took 2 weeks of vacation in March, 40 hours. This is reconciled on April 15th paycheck as additional pay (they already got paid for thier guarantee in March, vacation wasn’t used then), so a negative 5 hour adjustment needs to take place to ensure the pilot arrives at half or prorated guarantee (40-5=35) and is not overpaid.
    • In the pilot who was leaving’s example, if they had 8 hours of sick calls in April before leaving, they would get 3.67 hours of regular pay and 8 hours of sick pay to arrive at prorated guarantee.
