Edit 3: Got my increase now, yay! They gave me a seperate payslip with 30000 on it (and all the deductions taken out). If you get your pay slip (either soon or next month depending on your pay schedule) mention it ASAP.
My payday for April was today… no increase ✨
I've already contacted my CO (as well as the other JET under this CO – who also contacted the CO) and the PAs. I'm a fourth year JET, so I wasn't planning on a raise this year and I'm excited for it. We did recieve the paperwork for it like a month ago so it's not like our CO *didn't* know about it… maybe they "forgot." And your CO might too!
edit: Yes I understand most people will get their April pay in May. That is not how my CO does it. We recieve the pay for the work done that month on the 28th of the same month. ESID and all that.
edit 2: Just got word back from the CO that they have made a mistake. I wish them luck with their mountain of paperwork they must need to do now lol.
