Dollars & $ense: Be sure to read your LES monthly Published May 8, 2015 By 2nd Lt. Harry Oms 14th Comptroller Squadron Financial Services Flight Commander COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- The Leave and Earning Statement is a comprehensive statement which shows the service member's leave and earnings for the month. The most current pay, taxes, leave and status information is reflected on a member's LES. The LES is divided into three major areas: Entitlement, Deductions and Allotments. Your pay is your responsibility. Air Force Instruction 1-1 section 2.8 states, "You are expected to review your leave and earnings statement on a regular basis to ensure the accuracy of your pay and allowances." You should be aware of which entitlements you are authorized and those that you are not. If you identify any discrepancies in your entitlements, deductions, or allotments, it's your responsibility to immediately contact the Financial Services Office to begin corrective action. Discrepancies in your LES can potentially lead to erroneous payments and possibly cause you financial hardship. Debts will be established to pay back any erroneous overpayments which you've received. Remember, if you are overpaid, you don't get to keep the money and will be expected to pay the debt off in a timely manner. Bottom-line: Be proactive, understand your LES, and know your entitlements.
