When I started we got minimum wage that first month. $4.75 an hour.

 

Like the above post mentioned it's around $20 an hour.

 

Being you will be on the back of the list for awhile 95% chance you'll be nights a few years. 10pm-6am or midnight to 8am. They may still have 4 to midnight but there is little to no overtime there.

Excellent, and also how does the whole overtime thing work, ive never had a city job so im really not sure. Do you know when you're working overtime or does it just come as it comes? And can you ask for it or do you just stay later that day if the boss tells you? Thanks for any details

In capital construction (where 99% of the OT is) it's on the weekends.

Doubles (8 hrs regular and 8 hrs over time) and 12 hour shifts which are all over time. Then you also have over time shifts that start at 4 pm till midnight and roll into your regular midnight to 8 am tour.

 

Over time is anything outside of your regular shift. It does not go by total hours worked.

 

Usually by the middle of the week or two days before the end of the week you'll know about the overtime. A canvas sheet is sent out every week. you sign for what you want to work if you want to work.

 

Emergencies do pop up last minute and which ever work gang is nearest may be the ones to go. If you can't for a reason like kids at home things get worked out most of the time.

Also, the OT is every weekend with a few exceptions through out the year.

I wonder what list number ### their up to now?!? Transit website doesnt have any updated info and Dcas automated system only says youre currently on outstanding certification.

outstanding certification list means its something that you claimed for extra make sure its something that you know of before they give you the letter to come in because i was on a outstanding certification list but i never claimed for any extra credits.

Wether you pick capital or maintenance depends on your seniority.

 

You have a "Pick" every year or two.

A large book, the Pick book, comes out with all the jobs in capital, maintenance, specialist jobs such as welder/burner, crane operator, heavy equipment such as pay loader, etc. Also listed are the reporting locations in the 5 boroughs, and shifts and days off for those jobs.

 

The pick is unpredictable meaning new guys don't always go nights and Maintenance (which is consider easier work) is not always full of senior men.

Does anybody know what the vision test is like? Do they test each eye individually or are they examining your combined vision?

 

They are examining your combined vision...long story short, you look into something that is very similar to a microscope with both of your eyes and when you look in, you see an eye chart, just on a very small scale, with a black background and the letters/numbers in white. They ask you to read a certain line, which is something very small (like the 2nd to last line from the bottom). If you're successful, then you pass. If you don't feel you're successful, you can wear glasses, however your pass will say "Corrective Lenses" on it.
