I N his annual report, M. E. R. L. Fitzpayne, general manager of Glasgow Transport Department, referred to the department's bonus scheme, which he
said had been misrepresented. .
The National Joint Industrial Council had agreed that where special staffing difficulties were exberienced, it Would be permissible to pay more than' the national rates. Certain cities in the Midlands had increased the wages ,of all conductors and drivers, by 1 Is., but Glasgow insisted that such an .increase should be granted only to those employees Who completed their . allocated duties for the week.
, An analysis oftwo four-weekly periods in 1955 and 1956 showed that :sickness, absenteeism and the withdrawal of vehicles because of the nonavailability of staff had been reduced since the bonus scheme was introduced. The staff shortage was slightly more
acute in 1956 than in 1955. ,
The number of employees resigning to take up other work had not diminished. Of 83 bus drivers who resigned over a two-month period, 22 applied to other bus companies, 16 to British Railways, and 45 to industry not connected with transport, offering a five-day week and no shift work. Of 494 dismissals, 212 were for absenteeism.
