工业仲裁庭指新捷运集体协定未违反雇佣法

今年9月,五名巴士司机分别状告本地巴士业者新捷运(SBS Transit),指责后者违反加班工酬条款,支付不足工酬。 新捷运在本月18日,宣布把上述薪资诉讼申请转移到工业仲裁庭(IAC)审理。此前诉方将诉状提呈推事庭聆讯。 当时,新捷运声称,有鉴于上诉巴士司机提出的诉讼,也牵涉该公司与NTWU的共同协议,故此依法、为了新捷运全体巴士车长利益、与NTWU的良好关系,新捷运决定把此纠纷交由工业仲裁庭作裁决。 至于人力部当时亦赞同,交由工业仲裁庭处理“是建设性举措”。 上述诉讼在本月4日开审,诠释新捷运和全国交通工友联合会(NTWU)签署的集体协定中,有关超时工作和休息日的条款,是否符合法律规定。 不过,根据该庭法官陈成安发布的书面判决,指新捷运在休息日、超时工作薪酬和工时方面,并未违反上述集体协定。 法官是根据新捷运提供的雇佣合同、轮值表和薪酬计算样本作判断,也指休息日条款也未违反雇佣法。 根据合同,新捷运要求巴士司机必须每周工作48小时,包括4小时强制的“内置加班”工时。但是根据雇佣法令,雇员每日工时不超过八小时,或每周不超过44小时。超过这工时就必须支付一般工资1.5倍的酬劳。 而新捷运则告知法庭,如司机拒绝“内置加班”,就可被视为违反合约。此外,每周工作48小时,惟工作日仍有45分钟休息和包餐点。 对此法官认为,扣除了45分钟休息,也意味着每周工时为43.5小时,并未违反雇佣法。 但他指出有关雇佣合同一些差异可能引起混乱和误解,并认为取决于新捷运和交通工友联合会,是否检讨与司机的工作安排,并且依据雇佣法使用的条款定义,如“基本工资率”、“总收入”和“工时”、“加班”等。…
