- Community Shuttle Operators are skilled
professionals who provide safe, courteous
and accessible public transit service.
Their job is very dynamic and they are
exposed to a variety of working
conditions.
- You will be required to work varying
shifts throughout the day. This could
involve split shifts where you would have
two or three pieces of work within a
twelve-hour period. You will get paid only
for the hours you work.
- Your work could be assigned from a
"spare-board". This means that
your work could be assigned to you on a
daily basis and as a result, you will need
to be flexible to change. Most work for
Shuttle operators is scheduled and planned
in advance, but last minute changes do
occasionally happen.
- Community Shuttle Operators are required
to work Saturday and Sunday and are
guaranteed 15 hours per week.
- You will be working in a unionized
environment. Your vacation selection will
be limited and based on seniority. You
must have at least one year of employment
to be eligible for vacation entitlement.
- As a new Shuttle operator trainee, you
will be paid a rate of $15.03 per hour for
the five-week, training program (21 day).
- If successful in the training program,
Community Shuttle operators are paid a
rate of $17.68 per hour. Community
Shuttle operators who work a minimum of 20
hours per week would be eligible for
benefits.
- The nature of this part time work will
appeal to the following; students, retired
people, stay at home parents or those
individuals who are looking for a second
job that averages 20 hours a week.
- All Community Shuttle operator positions
are covered in the A.T.U. Local 583
collective agreement, but not all
provisions of the agreement apply to them.
All work that is assigned is based on
Calgary Transit's operational needs.
- After starting employment, employees may
be eligible to move to full-time status by
working a minimum of 37.5 hours per week
(subject to availability of full-time
positions).
