A BONUS scheme for drivers and
conductors has been proposed by Derby Corporation Transport Committee. It provides for the payment of 10s. a week to every employee who completes his weekly allocated duties phis any contracted overtime. The bonus could be forfeited by late arrival for work, sickness, or failure to complete overtime requirements.
Intended to overcome the staff shortage, this scheme is subject at present to the approval of the National Joint Industrial Council for the Road Passenger Transport Industry.
It was suggeited by the Transport and General Workers' Union, and Mr. Jim Taylor, the union's Derby district organizer, explained: "This scheme should have three advantages---it should encourage at least some of the persistently bad timekeepers to arrive for work in time; it will reward those employees who are consistently punctual; and should make for more efficient operation of the department."
