You will have to show it at your interview.

Do they take it for verification with ministry or you just show them ?

They took $300 right away as union initiation fees ($50 per week).  And $20 something each week ongoing.  Not sure if that amount changes after probation.

 

I heard the initiation union fee will go up though.  

I just wondering at what stage they ask your high school or GED diploma?

Yes starts at $26.10

As others have said it depends on many things but for me so far over the first few months it's usually $840 +/-$30 after deductions per week.  

Are they start to deduct union fees right away or after probation?

yes and no.  It depends on which month you started.  A colleague of mine started in first week of January.  He only got 2 weeks after completing the first year. 

But the year after it go up to 3 weeks ?

Is there any fitness facilities at bus terminals around the city ?

There is no lunch you eat when you can and not while driving . 

Where are you in the application process?

When you are on a split shift can you work somewhere else while you are on break between shifts? Uber for example?

You make the same rate no matter what work you do, so if you're at starting rate (26 something/hour) you'll make that rate for your first year on the job. The thing is as Mrsb2you pointed out, each piece of work comes with a certain 'crew value'(the amount of hours and minutes you are paid for a specific piece of work). The lowest paying pieces of work (specials) have a crew value of 8h flat. Regular small crews pay 8h15min whereas some larger crews can pay between 9 and 12h. If you're on spareboard and end up being on report some days, the days you get sent home after no work becomes available, you'll be paid for 8h. Needles to say, you'll always be paid for a minimum of 40h each week, but more often, you'll be paid for more than that.

You could pick work that pays you 11 hours each day. You'd only get paid OT if you do work in addition to that.

Thanks for explanation...and what about your lunch ? If you are on a regular straight shift (not split ) when and how long is the lunch ?

But worst come to worst, it's 40 hours a week, but usually you get more...

After 40 hours it 1.5 or double wage ?

3 minutes ago, kotraders said:

Worst pay you can get is report all week and didn't get sent out, so 8 hours a day x 5, 40 hours a week

 

But if you do drive all week is it come to 45-50 hours ?

as I said previously, you are basically one accident away from being fired (during probabtion).  You will have an extra layer of protection after you pass your probation.  I am saying go have an accident after passing probation.  The more you drive, the chance of getting into an accident is higher.  

 

How many paid hours usually in a week on average?

It's recommended that you wait till your probation (10 months) is over before you do OT. Remember your also working at a discount for the first 2 years. I didn't start doing OT till I hit full rate....but that doesn't mean you can't but having said that if the hiring keeps up then there will be any OT anyways.

Is there any reason why it is recommended after probation? 

Is there any possibility for new hire to do overtime or come to work on a day off or you need more seniority for it ?
