Article 62 explained in plain English
This article falls among the general and transitional provisions of the Law, and deals with the classification of technical and specialist enlisted members in the technical allowances table. Its elements are:
- Those covered: all technical and specialist non-commissioned officers and soldiers who receive technical or specialist allowances.
- What is required: that they be classified in the categories suited to their specializations and levels in the technical allowances table.
- The reference: this is done in accordance with the Implementing Regulations.
In practical terms, anyone who was receiving a technical or specialist allowance is placed in the suitable category of the table, and his allowance is determined on the basis of this classification. The article does not set the criteria for matching specialization, level and category, but refers them to the Implementing Regulations.
This connects with the definition of non-commissioned officer in Article 2, being the enlisted member whose rank is above private first class and below the rank of officer, and with the definition of the technical enlisted member as one who does special work requiring a specialization or technical skill as set by the Implementing Regulations.
Anyone who believes his classification does not match his specialization or level may consult a lawyer specializing in administrative cases and military service matters.
