Bus Driver Contracts

In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (1 July 2020).

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

The routes, number of services and bus stops are unchanged from the services delivered by the previous operator. I am informed that Torrens Transit managed an employment process that allowed all drivers to apply to be employed as drivers in the new contract. Torrens Transit selected the number of drivers required to deliver the services. This process was consistent with the process committed to by Torrens Transit.

All drivers employed by Torrens Transit that transferred from Southlink are employed under the Southlink Enterprise Agreement and therefore are under the same pay rates and conditions as employed by Southlink.
