For example, where I work, new hires are on probation for "X" number of days of actual work which means not in training. While you are in training, you are still on a probation period but those days are in addition to the "X" number days of actual work. Lol I know for a fact it's 10 months from training date. That's why our seniority is based on first day of training. Smh done with this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why all huffy puffy? 1) All I said is that its in your collective agreement and I gave an example on how my collective agreement where I work is worded. M'kay? 2) Seniority has nothing to do with probation, they are two completely different articles in any collective agreement on how they are assigned, what purpose they serve and how the company addresses both. My seniority was also issued on my first day of training, but that has nothing to do with probation. M'kay? 3) SMH indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluttonous mofo Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Youre right seniority is based on ehen we did the physical. When you look at the seniority list though it shows everyones first day of training 21 hours ago, 9924 said: Settle down there Junior - I didn't agree/disagree with you.

The sooner you complete your physical the sooner you get your training date. The argument was whether or not probation started from the first day of training... so I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with it lol. Anyways huffy puffy was supposed to be directed at the misinformed ttc worker lol. Guessing you're a South Park fan lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seniority is based on the moment the number is given to you, if you are given a seniority number once you've completed your physical, then your seniority starts then, if you are given a seniority number on your first day of training, then your seniority starts then. Your seniority does not begin before you receive a seniority number. Your probation does not begin when you receive your seniority number, it starts the moment that you start actual employment (in which ever way your collective agreement may identify this) with the company. Seniority and probation are two separate entities and are irrelevant of each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZümmyZüm Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Instead of asking the forum and not liking the answers you’ve been given from Current Transit Operators, why not email/call local 113 and find out the answer if you don’t agree with the CBA wording? I guarantee you all of us drivers, whether we work for TTC or not understand what a collective agreements wording is or isn’t. As a new hire you gotta be open to listening to drivers who will help you throughout your first year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a new hire you gotta be open to listening to drivers who will help you throughout your first year or two. Thats the point I was trying to make, follow the CA and every CA is different. Mine is very specific in how probation works in regards to how long it is and the day it starts. The excerpt from the TTC CA is a bit more vague, "continuous service" can be interpreted differently and lead to unnecessary confusion thus I agree with your post and ask the Local directly and not rely on varying opinions from others.

Lol you're the one bringing up this collective agreement. It was a simple answer to a simple question... whether or not training is included in the probation period. I've been on for almost 7 months now and every single operator I've asked including divisional trainers have told me the same thing. Benefits also kicked in 6 months after training date lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitMotorcoach Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Today I happened to run into the union shop steward at Queensway, and asked him about when probation starts. It begins on the first day of training at OTC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hi guys, I’ve also submitted my documents. Thank you to whoever shared that you must submit the MTO letter to your recruiter. I did not know that. And for those who are waiting for training dates, are we supposed to finish the job shadowing assignment while we wait? I got sent the template for the assignment with my offer but there were no instructions stating that I needed to complete the assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on when your references have been contacted and responded. I’m waiting for my police letter to arrive and then submitting that. I have heard January though from other people.

If I were you, I wouldn’t worry too much about that. They are looking for customer service experience. Focus on that. Driving experience is just an asset as the TTC spends $10,000 on every new hire to train them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
