No, another poster said, they _thought_ it was double-time, "which is fair enough," although they'd never done it themself. In any case, what's the problem with that? My flatmate is a bouncer - Whoops! Sorry, "Door Supervisor" - and she got double-time for doing Xmas Eve and NYE. -- Nick Cooper [Carefully remove the detonators from my e-mail address to reply!] The London Underground at War, and in Films & TV: http://www.nickcooper.org.uk/ |

You and other posters. I was wondering how much you got paid for that shift that ended at 4am. The total amount, ordinary pay plus bonuses. |

Of course, it must depend on how much your wage is initially, but to get to an actual figure of double time, if indeed it was that, that basic figure needs to be known. |

Why do you want to know? The truth, I guess. The media isn't a very reliable source of most information. Is the information that sensitive? I hope I don't have to sign the Official Secrets Act. Already had to do that once :) |

Volunteers and managers got £187. Some who had duties changed by a large
amount got time and a quarter. " wrote in message oups.com... Robin Mayes wrote: wrote in message oups.com... Did you get any extra money for working that shift?

Well, if they thought it was double-time that's a guess and not really
answering how much was earned, though I do appreciate the reply. Of course, it must depend on how much your wage is initially, but to get to an actual figure of double time, if indeed it was that, that basic figure needs to be known. It's common knowledge that train drivers earn £35K pa. We average 36 hours p.w. My takehome pay is just over £1900 after NI, tax and pension deductions. Working through the night on New Year's Eve is not part of our contractual requirements so every year volunteers are asked for and not surprisingly LUL offer some incentive for this (which I think is double time - someone correct me if I'm wrong). I have been rostered to work the last 2 New Years Eves anyway (finishing at about 1 am last year) and I won't get any extra payment (just as we don't get paid extra for working other public holidays). The extra payment is just for those working at the time the Underground would normally be closed. And the exact amount will depend on how long each driver's duty is (that will vary) If the point of the question was "Why should we thank train drivers working through New Year's Eve when they're being paid extra for it?" then fair enough. But if people are polite enough to thank us for doing a good job we'll say "You're welcome"!!! Richard |

Well it might have helped if you had quoted something to tell us all what you're on about. Not everybody reads newsgroup messages online and not everybody has a ready list of all previous messages. As far as your question goes, that's already been answered by others. I'm interested as to why you feel the need to know this information though. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building.
