Payroll

Paystubs can be viewed in UKG (aka UltiPro), accessed on swap.allegiantair.com.

This is also where you would go to change your direct deposit or tax forms as well as update your home address, which is important for pilot taxes, as state taxes are only withheld by the company for your state of residency.

A detailed log of your monthly service to the company can be found in Tableau, accessed on the same site. It is important to check this.
• The box labeled “total” is how much extra is tacked onto next month’s 15th paycheck.
• The union STRONGLY advises pilots to subscribe to daily Tableau pay reports. Directions for how to do this can be found on crew payroll’s page on G4connect. Additionally, check again for the previous month on each 15th payday to ensure no last-minute changes were made.

Pilots are paid semi-monthly.

The first payment, which is generally larger, falls on the 15th of the month, and includes half guarantee (35 or 36 hours) for the current month as well as reconciliation from the previous bid month including above guarantee (ABG) flying, any dropped credit (DTG), VFNs, per diem, and home study.

The second paycheck comes on the last day of the bid month (generally the 30th or 31st) and only contains half of the ending month’s guarantee.

If a payday falls on a weekend or holiday, it will be paid prior to that.

When submitting the report remember to select (Override Dept/Location), after pressing save it will prompt you to select Location and Dept. Attached is a screen shot of the selection that should be used.

Line holder pilots who are awarded below 70-hour lines and who perform transactions during the schedule adjustment period (SAP) will have this added to their awarded line value, not 70 hours. (e.g. a pilot with a 50-hour line adds 15 hours... they will still be paid 70, not 85).

• Note: The guarantee is still protected if the pilot drops hours. E.g. A pilot awarded a 50-hour line does SAP trades which reduce the line by 2 hours. The pilot is still paid 68, not 48.

• The awarded line value can be found on the monthly scheduling bid award on G4connect. Merlot may not be accurate (for instance, it may not count any DH or training pay).

Composite pilots who pick up open time (defined as unassigned flying from the company’s open time link in Merlot) with remaining ADD DAYS. One add day will be removed per 4 hours added or trip picked up in lieu of extra pay.

Picking up an ROE Day before it converts to a day off at 6:00 p.m. PT the evening prior.

Picking up a COMP-1 Day in which the company granted one of the pilot’s three options for a compensatory day off per Section 14.

Only on composite lines (3.75 hours). Not on reserve lines.

The Payroll Committee suggests you forward all JIRAs that are denied to us at payroll@apa2118.org for triage.

If they’re correct we can almost always provide more color to the situation and gain data to better educate our pilots. If a mistake was made by the crew payroll analyst, we can escalate it to their management. If the issue is contested/does not match the contract language, we can guide you to file a grievance.

The following are common scenarios in which pilots may see a negative charge on their pay stub:
• Pilot used >35 hours of sick and/or vacation in prior month. Regular pay + vacation + sick + any negative adjustment should add up to half (prorated) guarantee.
• Pilot took an unpaid leave of absence in current month.
• Pilot had dropped trips in the previous month without applying sick time to cover the drop, or called sick in excess of available sick time.

The company breaks VFNs into two components. ABG or PREM and VFN. The two together add up to 200% or 230%.

This is most likely because it is being used to reconcile DTG on a different day. Ensure that the withheld ABG does not exceed the “waived” DTG (difference between DTG value at the top of pay report and DTG value at bottom of pay report).
If not this issue, we have a known glitch where PPSK’d/ROEd/SICK ABG trips sometimes fall under PCH. This will be fixed with JIRA.

The trip that was picked up came from another pilot who was not in the premium range (>81 pay credit hours), and thus the trip does not count towards building you up to the 81-hour threshold. This will act to change the threshold at which ABG rolls PREM to a higher value, equal to the sum of non-premium +9 or 11 (unless the pilot had a leave of absence).
If non premium was applied to a “lateral trip trade” (e.g. simply trading days of work, not one pilot dropping a trip) contact the Payroll Committee for guidance as excess non premium may be applied.

Generally, yes. If you are PPSK’d and subsequently on your own accord pickup an alternate trip, you are eligible for double pay. Exceptions to this are notes of PPSK in COMP-1 (compensatory) days and ROE. These have special pay rules in their sections of the contract.
If the reason you were PPSK’d was due to a same day VFN award, a “greater of” concept applies.

On multi-day pairings that have an FAA 117 rest period, each day of the pairing that goes past midnight into another calendar day pays an additional 4PCH for the day. If it goes past 2:00 a.m. into what was previously a day off this 4PCH shall be designated as ABG and a comp day is owed.

Yes, in Merlot there should be a drop-down option to DTO the trip. You may need to do a “direct trade.” If you encounter problems, file a JIRA and crew payroll will correct it.

PPSK – This needs to be the pairing label. PPSK in the notes is not good enough.

ROE-X – The day before at 1800 PT, ROE will convert to X-1. Only after this time will you be able to pick up a trip and double dip.

Involuntary Comp Day – (Only if *not* one of your 3 choices) You can pick up whenever on the day they chose and get paid for both.

VFNs go ABG.

Pilot to Pilot trip trades go ABG (non-premium, if the pilot you're receiving the trip from isn’t over 81 hours).

Once all ADD days are converted to X-1 any open time will be ABG. The company will not back date ADD days that were satisfied previously.

New hires sent to SFB are not being paid per diem for being out of the new hire permanent domicile, which is LAS.

PPSK’d ABG trips (e.g. for sick call, ROE, etc.…) are falling from ABG to PCH. This is a technical issue, not a contested issue.

You will hold the PCH of the original trip, if the VFN is greater the difference will go into the ABG or PREM column. Plus, in the VFN column the trip value for the VFN awarded will go both into the ABG or PREM column as well as the VFN column. If the original trip was greater than the VFN awarded, the delta will be allocated to the PCH column. The pay does not stack in this situation.

New Hire guarantee is 70 hours a month.

1. DOH 4/5 first paycheck would be the 15th, prorated amount of 2.3333 hrs/day, (11 active days)(35 hours/15 days) = 25.6667 hrs that would be paid on the 15th. Paycheck on the 30th would be for 35 hrs.

1. DOH 4/17 4/17 first paycheck would be on the 30th, prorated amount of 2.3333 hrs/day (14 active days)(2.3333) = 32.6667 hrs that would be paid on the 15th

New Hires classes that start after the People Services Deadline and before the Pay Day, they will receive this amount on the next Pay Day.

The paycheck is processed and is done Direct Deposit. This setup is done through UKG/UltiPro and is provided by the Company and the link is sent via email. If you do not setup a direct deposit the check will be mailed to the address in UKG/UltiPro.

The cutoff date for a check on the 15th and 30th varies based on the Crew Payroll Calendar Pay Frequency: Semi-Monthly. For the year of 2024 these are the cutoff dates for the respective Pay Day.

That is correct, only 0.25 will be ABG and not the whole 4.0 PCH for the unscheduled RON.
