Posted by randyo on Fri May 17 15:52:42 2019, in response to [VIDEO] John Samuelson At MTA Board Meeting, posted by Bill Newkirk on Thu May 16 06:20:59 2019. The news media should investigate a little more thoroughly before making broad accusations regarding overtime. Much of the overtime especially on runs that last for as much as 10 hours is due to the unwillingness of the MTA management to hire more employees. I once generated two work programs one of which had one more run that the other but paid fewer work hours. I was instructed do go with the one with fewer runs because even though the allowed time was greater, it was perceived that the TA would save money by having to pay the fringe benefits to one less crew. Also, the way the TA shows OT pay is in allowed hours rather than actual hours worked and since OT is paid at time and a half, it may appear to the uninitiated (and that includes our so called Governor) that the employees are working more hours than they actually do. Jobs that work 10 hrs per day (Actually 9:59) pay 11 hrs so while the employee who has such a run is allowd 55 hours he/she in actuality is working only 50 so the employees are not working the impossible hours that the media and the politicians are claiming. |
