Employee costs in the 2019-20 financial year have been influenced by a number of factors including:
• Additional employees being engaged to undertake additional cleaning and sanitising of Transport Canberra Operations assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Prior to 1 July 2019 ACTION buses were under one cost centre, all other related sections such as Light Rail support sat within Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS). When the Transport Canberra (TC) entity was created on 1 July 2019 all staff were transferred to the TC entity. This should be considered when comparing wage costs of Transport Canberra Operations /ACTION between April/May 2019 and 2020 as the composition of staff has changed.
• The ongoing recruitment of permanent drivers throughout 2019-20 to meet the operational requirements of Network 19.
Note that due to the school holiday network in operation, costs are usually lower in April. However, costs were lower for May 2020 in comparison to April 2020 due to the fact that three payment runs were made in April (2/4, 16/4 and 30/4) and only two in May (14/5 and 28/5).
