Question for those of you who Graduated school car, but never passed probation, quit and left, and then Re-hired to come back into School Car....

  - Did you got to Keep your Seniority # when you came back?

   - Did you kept your Vacation progression?  or did you had to restart from scratch?
     AKA - the 4 weeks vacation after 3 years deal, did you had to restart that?

   - Did you pick working in the other Division so that it's something new and now you can say that u have experience in both Div??

Thanks in Advance.

You lose everything when you quit. Start from scratch. Wouldn't it be better to pick close to home. A two hour commute quickly becomes exhausting.

You lose all seniority when getting rehired after you quit. So that means any accrued time towards your 3rd year of service for 4 weeks of vacation and/or your file number. 
 

You can do whatever you want in terms of choosing divisions (if you get a choice.)

That's why if one needs to leave or quit its best to do it during Schoolcar...

Taking this job "to try it out"  and passing Schoolcar only to quit because it was everything one was told it was, and couldn't deal with it(Unless something drastic happens)without any better options in the horizon isn't a good idea...

As the others said you come back get rehired you at the bottom of the barrel..

Again...

When I got rehired I got my seniority back, my medical insurance restored right away and even my vacation progression.

Now I did get terminated and even tho I didn't pass probation, I did have more than a year in title when it happened so that may be a factor.

I returned after only 5 months and I was told that if a person comes back to title within the year u are entitled to your file number and all of your stuff but like I said there may be many different factors to that.

What constitutes 1 year in title?  Is it 1 full year in actual days working on the road?  Or is it 1 year calendar days as an employee of Transit (since Day 1 of school car?
File number is the Test # correct?, not the seniority number?
Thank you again for clarifying.

It means from the date u are hired. U are in title as soon as u start.

File number is seniority number, just another name for it.

Not too long ago..it's all on a case by case basis. You are better off going down to 130 Livingston and speaking to a union rep who can go over to the operations training office in the same floor and talk to them. I've always heard u can reinstate your name back on a list as long as it's active unless the agency specifically rejects your request which they would do if u were considered a liability, but I've seen someone reinstate his name after failing his practicals. It really just depends on who u talk to from operations training.

This list is governed by city laws. It prevents you having to depend on an individual. The law seems clear here. If you came from an open competitive list and you resigned before probation ends you lose everything. Start from scratch. But thankfully you can start again because the law allows you to restore yourself to the list and be hired again.

it's both interesting, yet confusing. 
I'm assuming the List number never changes (the test exam number), but the seniority # is lost (when we do come back to school car, graduate, bla bla bla).
I do understand it though.

Also another interesting question is: 
After 1 year (passing probation), can you just leave and come back within 1 year and all is fine and dandy?
Or.....must Transit APPROVE your leave first? 

As I am told from someone......Transit only holds your position for 1 year if you leave for another DCAS job? 
Or does it include any other job (white collar or starting ur own business, etc).

I went down on  October 12 and, I haven’t heard anything yet. Hopefully they will call soon for the November class. A superintendent told a bunch of us that they have a class every month to March so it’s just a waiting game.

[sweep]

The 6/25/23 B division induction class just finished YX and took the second signal exam last Friday. Everyone passed, now on to Road Ops then Road Posting.

Does anyone know if having accidents on your MVR will disqualify you

They do ask about it on the application. As with most things Transit it probably depends on the nature of the accidents.

I’m list #62xx. Just received the confirmation email a few weeks ago that my name was reinstated to the list. I got called in June but was missing my ssn card and had to wait until a new one came in the mail. Does my list number go back to the top of the list. When should I be called ?

You’d most likely be in the next class.
