SINGAPORE: Clauses in several collective agreements between bus operator, SBS Transit and the National Transport Workers’ Union do not breach the Employment Act, according to a ruling by the Industrial Arbitration Court .
"In addition, I have to treat the built-in overtime of four hours per week as part of the normal contractual working hours of the employee and not as overtime per se, which should always be optional for the employee." However, Justice Chan noted that the language adopted by NTWU and SBS Transit in structuring their work arrangement is different from what has been defined under the Employment Act.
It will be up to the employers and the union to decide if they should review all their work arrangements for bus captains and adopt instead the same definitions as those set out in the Employment Act, he added.
