The following table shows the DFAS schedule of military pay periods and scheduled pay days for 2011.
Each servicemember has the option of receiving his or her pay one or two times a month. If they select to receive their pay twice a month, they will receive semi-monthly pay on the 15th of each month – if the 1st or 15th falls on Saturday or Sunday, payday is the Friday before.
Beginning in June, we’ve added the dates (in bold) your Net Pay Advice (NPA) (for mid-month paydays) and Leave and Earnings Statements (for end-of-month paydays) will be available in myPay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Military members in a transient or Permanent Change of Station (PCS) status will not be able to view their mid-month Net Pay Advice (NPA) using the myPay system. These members should verify their mid-month payday amounts at their local finance office once they report to their new Permanent Duty Station.
However, for those military members still in a transient or PCS status at the end of the month, your end of month LES/Pay Statement will be available through the myPay system at mypay.dfas.mil
