A full time operator on a full time shift would appear as an "8" in the left column.
But as you can see, there is not one 8 hour shift there, every single shift pays more than 8 hours.
In other words, every single shift that is on this particular page has overtime programmed right into it.
How can an agency survive if they can't run services without paying $40 an hour to run it?
Just another example in the wealth of examples of an agency out of control.

A clarification is due: Overtime would be paid after eight hours per day. The entire run would not be paid at the overtime pay rate.
It can be cheaper to pay out overtime instead of hiring more workers since there are no more increased benefit costs.
Having said that, I believe the amount of overtime is excessive. 60 hours work weeks don't exactly create a culture of safety.
I'm aware of at least one recent retiree that would have continued to work, but was burned out from being forced to sign long runs. Now TriMet pays out a monthly pension and health care to someone who is no longer productive.

Just like me! I'm gonna get platinum benefits and $900/mo for sitting on my ass while poor Ross drives round and round!
Those 60 hour weeks also help insure that they want have yo pay the pension for more that a couple of years of retirement. They don't pay pensions to dead drivers.
are these all 5-day-a-week assignments?
