Sunday working

[Paul 1980]

For conductors with northern west contract. Is it optional? I understand that I can opt out of the ones I dont have on my rota (link) but the ones I am rosta'd in for can I opt out of these too? I d be down on hrs for that week!

I'm in my training and not familiar with it all and trying to book a trip before a voucher expires tonight.

It might be different for Northern, but for my TOC you do your rostered hours Monday to Saturday. Any rostered Sunday’s are classed as overtime, however you are expected to work them unless you give 7-14 days notice. Quite often though, due to the additional pay, colleagues tend to ask for yours as opposed to having to give them away.

Sundays for west conductors are not committed.

Thankyou both for your replies

Hi Paul

Cheers Mickey

Hi as long as your are prepared to do a little work/revision outside if the course you ll be fine. It is fairly intense but worth it I hope. I have just done my last big written assesment and have my interim assesment tomorrow morning so once that's done I ll be a lot happier. I guess getting a decent group helps as I'm sure you will. Good luck with it. If you have any questions then fire away.

Glad your doing well. Yes if I have any Q's? I will get in touch.
Thanks for that.
