About PaYS:
PaYS is an Army recruiting tool that ultimately becomes a system through which companies can consider appropriately qualified Soldiers exiting from Army service for employment opportunities at those companies. At the time of enlistment, a Soldier can register with a company and agree to Army training in a particular job skill or set of skills that match the company’s needs. If a company requires specific job qualifications, certifications or licensing, the Soldier utilizes his or her two-to-six-year time of service to the Army to satisfy those requirements. Participation by the company, Soldier and Army is secured with an agreement that affords the Soldier priority consideration in the employment process. However, the company reserves the right to determine whether to ultimately hire the PaYS Soldier.
PaYS is a win-win-win situation for the Army, participating companies, and exiting Soldiers. Companies have the opportunity to gain employees who have developed professional work habits and have been held to the highest standards. Companies save recruiting and training costs by letting the Army do the job. Soldiers who choose to exit the Army after their service have a number of career opportunities to consider.
