Footplate: Drivers Overtime Bonus for Trainee Drivers

Feb 16, 2018Update

Your Locomotive Division team would like to advise Members of a recent victory in securing payment of the Overtime Bonus for Trainee Drivers.

Sydney Trains have been requiring Trainee Drivers to work ever increasing amounts of overtime in an effort to reduce the length of the Trainee Drivers course and alleviate the current Driver shortage. Initially these Drivers were denied payment of the Overtime Bonus due to a long held belief that Trainees were not entitled to the Overtime Bonus.

Following considerable work by the Locomotive Division Sydney Trains have confirmed that Trainee Drivers are entitled to the Overtime Bonus as per clause 3.9 of the Drivers Rostering and Working Arrangements.

This decision will also rectify the long standing problem of recently graduated Drivers being denied Overtime Bonus payments due to them being in training for a portion of the Overtime Bonus cycle period.

We would like to encourage any recently graduated Drivers or current Trainees who are entitled to Overtime Bonus payments to pursue payment through their Shift Managers and Payroll Officers.

Should Members have any questions please contact your local Delegate or Loco Division Head Office.
