A Wage Differential Approach to Managing Special and Incentive Pay : RAND Corporation , 2019
From the preface: "The Office of Compensation within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness asked RAND to conduct research into special and incentive (S&I) pays, which add to military cash compensation and serve a variety of force management purposes. Of particular interest was whether the existing structure of S&I pays might be improved by converting some pays into a “wage differential.” Under this concept, S&I pays would be disbursed according to a stable schedule that could depend on occupation or duty, year of service, and pay grade. Two examples of a wage differential are Sea Pay and Aviation Career Incentive Pay (ACIP), both of which are paid according to schedules. A potential advantage of the wage differential approach is to provide greater stability in military compensation. The present research reviewed S&I pays to identify possible candidates for a wage differential, consider the cost-effectiveness of incentives embedded in certain S&I pays to select a longer period of obligated service (incentives absent under a wage differential), and estimate the value to the servicemember of decreasing S&I pay uncertainty"
