When London Transport people came to the schedule office years ago, I never though to ask them about that. What London and other countries under the British sphere of influence seem to lack is an actual pick system like US transit properties have. LT employees work out of what they refer to as a “roster book” and often the employees don’t even work the same run 2 days in a row. The system provides for an employee to work alternate weeks of early (AM) runs and late (PM) runs supposedly to allow for the employees to had some semblance of a social life rather than be locked into crummy off hours for months at a time till the employee’s seniority improves. The so called runs are packaged weekly and the weeks are numbered 1 through 52 so that the employee knows what runs he/she will have for the entire calendar year. One employee’s yearly schedule might start with week 1 and continue in consecutive order to week 52, while another might start with week 5 and continue till it resolves around to week 4. The way it was presented to me also was that there are no true penalty or overtime runs. The combination of runs for a given week is packaged in such a way that all employees work exactly 40 hours, no more and no less. For example, if one day’s run works 10 hours actual, another run in that same week would work only 6. On a full week, 2 days runs would be 10 hours, 2 more day’s runs would be 6 hours and the 5th day would be exactly 8 hours so that the total hours for the week would be exactly 40. All employees are off Sundays and one other day off, but on a rotating basis employees are required to work at least one Sunday a month as overtime. That was the way it was explained to me and if anyone out there has a more accurate description of how things are there, feel free topost. |
