@Jericho : @trackerjack won’t be on sick control just because of the <50% sick time. It’s an absence with proof given. You only get bagged for sick control with 6 unsubstantiated absences or any two patterned absences. All that’s going to happen is that he’s going to have his probation extended 4 days  

trackerjack is also already on the 30% because he’s a new employee. You don’t get an official 70/30 designation until you have 3 years on the job. 

You should take the test and wait for them to call you with a permanent offer. Because they will establish the list and call from it eventually.

Hello good morning. I got called in for processing at 180 Livingston street on Monday the 4th. I was wondering how long until I get a call back for the 2nd day. My list number is 14** exam #9618. A person that works there that had us follow her to the drug screening room said 3 to 90 days until they call us back. Not sure if this is actually accurate or not. Thanks 😎

The 3 to 90 days is just the min-max times. They get the results back from a drug test within 3 days. Figure best case scenario - 2,3 weeks?

So after you get started, once they send you to zerega, are you for the whole 10 day training or they send you to different depots to train?

For training, is it only at zerega for 10 days or just day 0?

The very first day you’re at Zerega. If you wind up going to Day 10, that will also take place at Zerega. Days 1-7 are at one depot, days 8-9 will be at another depot. If you qualify between days 7-9, you will be instructed where to report for equipment training. (Usually Jamaica Depot)

After Day 10, you will be at Zerega for a couple more days. Not sure on which but you will be. Graduation will be at Zerega. Line training will take place at whatever depot that you pick into after qualifying.

@SevenElevenif your on a late night shift during daylight savings time, how does that work?

Insert $1.00 for the next 5 questions. 
 

Each depot and route is different with how you’re adjusted but you will get a modified paddle to follow.

Oh I thought you choose which depot to train at from what’s available. 
 

Which are the most common depots they send you to?

 

Class starting at Zarega on Sunday 3/27

They use a particular model bus for training so whichever depots has that bus is where you can be at. I’ve been seeing training buses out of Manhattanville, East New York and Queens Village lately. That’s only 3 of maybe the 10-12 depots that they can send you.

Which depots do we get to choose from for the 10 day training?

Any of the SI depots?

None. Wherever Zerega assigns you is where you’re going for training.

QUICK QSTN..TRAINING IS IN WEEKEND DAYS???THANKS

Depends on the schedule for that week. For the 10 day, you usually start on a Sunday or Monday for training and that will give you Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday off. However, if you have to come in the weekend, they will let you know. 

Line training is M-F unless you’re that week has a TA holiday. If that’s the case, they will give you the holiday off and have you in on the weekend to make that day up.

So @SevenEleven My name will be restored to the list from exam 9618. Do have any knowledge or know of anyone who had their name restored when they were called a 2nd time? Was it in a few months? Longer? I was planning to move back in August but i can definitely move it up to the beginning of June. Thanx for the help and feedback! 

I’m not sure of the timeframe but whenever they put the class together, you should be in it, since you would have the lowest active list number.

So then I’m out of a job if I do the crossover now?

Nah. You’re asking if you x-over using one of these exams? You’ll x-over from MTA Bus and be a provisional TA hire. So you’ll still be working. When the list officially goes up, they will go through the list in order and hire permanently. (While getting rid of the provisional hires)

So they can get to you on the list while you’re a provisional and all they have to do is change you to a permanent employee. But if they have to end your provisional employment, then they should send you back to MTA Bus, until they reach your list number and then bring you back permanently. 
 

If you’re talking about another exam where the list is established, you’re x-ing over as a permanent employee.

How would the provisional part work? 

Same way as I explained in the first post. It’s only temporary until the list is established and you’re hired permanently.

@SevenElevenhow would this work if I’m doing a crossover? 

I’m not sure of all the specifics. You would have to do the pre-employment paperwork to make you a city employee, get a new pass and a drug test. I don’t know if they would make you do the medical again. 

You will get a start date at Zerega for some more paperwork and then they’ll ship you off to a depot. 

This thread is now open. When posting, please post the exam number(s) you are referencing for easier tracking.

Yea, for sure. I'm aware it's for the background check but I've had a massive amount of jobs and am a bit afraid it'll be looked down upon, is what I'm saying. So I was just asking wat are ur thats abt that. LoL

Nobody is going to look down on it. I’ve seen people with worse histories get hired, lol.

Edit: I meant to say, guys please give me ur thoughts abt having massive jobs since high school and I'm now 39! Sure hope it won't be frowned upon 😲I really need this!

It’s fine. It’s for your background check.

@SevenEleven you good?

Yes, thank you!

At a computer that has access to the TA intranet. It’s the only way until IT restores access.

I thought they had a lien on your license? If you got any speeding/red light ticket while in your personal car that's grounds for termination?

Nah but bus operators in NYS are subject to the 19-A law. Pretty much says if you have 'x' amount of accidents in a certain timeframe OR more than 9 points on your license, you will lose your 19A status, which is what you need to carry passengers in NYS. It also says that you must report any accidents or conviction of moving violations ASAP or be suspended from work for a week.

You ran a red light while driving MTA bus or while in your personal car? They didn’t give you any courtesy?

I answered his question as if he was asking about doing it on the bus.

If you run red lights and get tickets in your personal car, it’s whatever. If you get caught on the bus, then you will have your probation extended in any instance. However, you can get suspended if you get caught by supervision.

@SevenEleven Do you know what the punishment is for having a red light/speeding ticket while on probation?

6 month extension

I was in a Maggie's Paratransit vehicle. They fired me for it cause i was on probation. 

Just put you got fired. They’re just asking because that’s what they’re going to use to do your background check.

I was fired from two jobs in the two years prior to being hired.

To the driver's here is there a route that it's built to where you have to leave late to be on time and if you leave on time you will be early?

That can be any route if they give you too much time to do the trip or if the traffic conditions are light.

Thanks for the correction. I was told 2 people and thought it was off too.
