realizm Posted August 15, 2013 Share #26 Posted August 15, 2013 I don't think a web based program would cost 270k a year... If it did, then it would explain why the constantly cries broke. Within management in the public and private sector in general, the reason they implement web based systems for attendance is to save money and reduce the potential for abusing the timeclock, such as 'buddy punching'. Also time savings and labor costs in processing calculations for paychecks from timecards as the web based system integrates hours worked into payroll and sent to labor management databases automatically, on the fly reducing on the time consuming tasks on processing pay for employees. Don't kill the messenger I am just yet another mindless drone in the US workforce working in shackles and chains under management like everyone else here.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 15, 2013 Share #28 Posted August 15, 2013 Heaven forbid somebody refrain from buying an iCrap, people like him will be on them like a bag of bricks. Who said anything about an iPhone? I don't have an iPhone and I don't like any Apple products, but I'm still up with the times technologically.

ttcsubwayfan Posted August 15, 2013 Share #29 Posted August 15, 2013 I would hope you would get the larger scope of the point to my post - people can get by without a flashy electronic device, and at the same time not "waste" your "precious taxpayer money" (as an out of towner, I cannot offer my perspective on that respective issue) - take note, none of the subway divisions, or other bus divisions have such a shuttle in place, yet they also lack an electronic pick system.

realizm Posted August 15, 2013 Share #32 Posted August 15, 2013 This should make some of you whiners happy.. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/mta-axes-union-referee-article-1.1427174 The contract arbitrator who just ruled that New York’s MTA can’t stop its high-priced shuttle service for Bronx bus drivers has been pink-slipped by the authority, the Daily News has learned. Richard Adelman has been the independent arbitrator of contract disputes between the NYC Transit division and the Transport Workers Union Local 100 for a dozen years Reading the snips from the article reminds me of what Snowblock mentioned in another thread: that transit workers working in the MTA Subways division is encouraged (or was it mandated?) to use the subway to get to work so as to prevent transit workers from being late, ensuring that the operation runs smoothly. So apparently that's the same reasoning behind the shuttle service for B/O's? The first article Harry posted hinted on this: smooth operation.

RTOMan Posted August 16, 2013 Share #33 Posted August 16, 2013 That does not have to do with the pick process. That's what this article is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted August 20, 2013 Share #36 Posted August 20, 2013 I always thought that before the pick, everyone just gave in a list of their top choices and then somebody sat in the office assigning the jobs based on seniority and requests.
