NSW Trains to use new pay system from January

An initial meeting has been convened to begin consultation regarding the integration of HR, payroll, procurement and finance so that this comes from one place instead of across multiple systems and processes.

Transport Equip is the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution which has been used by TfNSW staff and Senior Service since July 2015 and by the Rail Maintenance Service (RMS) since March 2016.

NSW Trains staff will use the new system from January 2017 with Sydney Trains to follow in June 2017.

Crew will experience some changes to pay dockets and information available as a result of the new system. The major changes are that there will be less detail on the payslip and the award rate will change from annual to weekly as per Section 4 of the EA.

There is a move to remove paper usage across the all Government agencies and payslips will be more readily available electronically. However, if members still want a hard copy this will be provided.

NSW Trains will use the new system first, and the changes and their impacts will be validated prior to Sydney Trains commencing use of the new system.
