For Drivers and Guards: A pay increase of 4.03% plus super will be paid in the pay run for pay day 12 May 2023. This includes an additional 1% increase which was a result of FWC arbitration.

Transport Payroll have advised us the payslips for the additional 1% backpay being paid in the 28 April 2023 pay run will be delayed until Friday 28 April 2023. There is no delay to when you will be paid just to when these payslips will be available.
