Posted by Train Dude on Mon May 13 00:48:57 2024, in response to Re: More than 700 MTA workers earned over $100k in OT, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun May 12 23:23:10 2024. There is a misunderstanding about wages, salary and contracts that should be explained.The main difference between salary and wage is that Salary is typically a yearly figure that is fixed for a period of time, with a pre-determined increment trajectory. Wages are hourly or daily payments for work done during the working day. There is overlap between both. As to your comments: If no overtime were paid, it definitely does not mean that there would be 700 open jobs. In addition, some of what is assumed to be overtime is actually payment for work rules such as. If on LIRR, a train makes one unscheduled stop, the crew is entitled to an additional day's pay. An unscheduled stop is any stop not included in the timetable. Or if the engineer is assigned to an MU and is later switched to a diesel, he is entitled to an additional day's pay. As to "working that much overtime being unsafe" work rules prohibit horking beyond certain mandated limits. |
