The mode I've been assigned is Subway. Question, does anyone know how much overtime on average is available for Subway Operators? Thanks. Congratulations!

Documentation does not determine when you get the call. The date of your medical will let you know your queue. His documentation was a week after I went for mine but his medical was two days prior and I have not received my call as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garda is paid by TTC for it, believe me they won't skip out on it. A friend of mine didn't do so well on the interview and his references were never contacted.

Oscar101 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Congrats @DreamOperator! The "queue" doesn't seem to make any sense. My medical was in September, my documentation was Nov. 2 and all I received today was 10 cm of snow to shovel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I could not choose either one so I was really indifferent and didn't get my hopes high for any mode. I just became thankful for the opportunity. I kept telling my family though that it was very unlikely that I would get Subway due to seniority and other people's knowledge and experiences. After getting the call I felt very fortunate and lucky to have gotten Subway though. 8 hours ago, Oscar101 said: Congrats @DreamOperator! The "queue" doesn't seem to make any sense.

When I got the call I just thought it was my turn in the "queue" but as you and Emki have stated that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcscarb Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 when is your police check sent off for processing? is it after your interview, conditional offer or after medical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOperator Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 5 minutes ago, ttcscarb said: when is your police check sent off for processing? is it after your interview, conditional offer or after medical? It is after you sign and email them back your conditional offer. Reason being is that if they were you send it out after your interview 1) They don't know if they are necessarily hiring you yet based on reference checks 2) It costs them money to process it so why waste money for a candidate they don't know if they are giving a Conditional Offer to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betablocker Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Congrats to everyone who received a call! Dream Operator: when you're fresh off OTC you'll be assigned to sign slip which is below spare board. With sign slip you're assigned work by the clerk or do what's called a report where you come in and sit at the division as a spare op. You'll be asked to report in the early afternoon and then they have 5 hours to find you work. If they don't find anything, you go home with 8 hours pay. If they do find a crew for you then the most they can hold you is 12.5 hours which includes your wait time and crew value. You get paid for crew value and half of your wait time. You'll have to call in every day after 5pm to know what you're doing the next day. Sometimes you'll get an actual shift but most times when you're brand new it'll be a report. The only thing you'll know in advance are your off days. Speaking from experience as I go through the same thing right now. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super nice and very competent about it. 19 minutes ago, DreamOperator said: @Oscar101 Not really. I live by Woodbine and Queen. Quite the commute then to Wilson, when Danforth, Russell/Leslie, Birchmount, even Malvern and Roncesvales would have been easier. Break a leg!

Rekognize Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 31 minutes ago, ttcscarb said: when you do sign-in slip are the routes still only ones based out of your division? Yes. But there was a one-off scenario where Wilson had so many new hires they made a bunch of them report to Arrow. 51 minutes ago, a1brt said: So did he end up receiving the conditional offer? If not, then this is exactly what I meant. No. He waited about a month after interview and received an email saying they are no longer going to proceed with his application. 4 minutes ago, a1brt said: what are your shifts like when you start? What time do you usually start work and finish, and are the off days together or separate? How's first impressions and feedback of the job? Off days are always together when you're on slip. Usually you'll get night bus 5am finish but it all depends on the seniority at your division. When you sign work there are some crews with split off days but I haven't seen a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondGen-Op Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't one have to wait 2 years before being eligible to put in a slip to transfer divisions? I remember someone mentioning they had changed the policy to one year but I cannot recall 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
