9. Code of conduct policy P078
10. PR1012 LU Individual Grievance Procedure 11. The sections of the rule books dealing with electrical training.
[Clarified 16 June 2024] : For questions 5, 6 and 7 I am looking to obtain information regarding the electrical low-voltage training manual/ health and safety policies and Staff Handbook as applicable to the LU Fleet/ DMU department.
Regarding question 11, I am aware that there is the standard S1069, where the formerly known as procedure Ea200 is described. Can you provide me with the section/s from the rule books reflecting this? We all know that: "when working on LU infrastructure you must have the correct certification for the activity you will be carrying out" and that. "Any certification and associated licences should be carried with you at all times when working on LU infrastructure." I am looking for the sections describing the electrical Low-Voltage licences to be carried by a person or Level 3 certification as described by the standard S1069 is sufficient.
Regarding question 8, can you provide the pay rise deal applicable to LU Fleet for 2023-2024? The information obtained from publicly available sources was that the staff received a five per cent increase and £1,000 “consolidated payment” if the annual salary was over £40.000. Is this correct?
Regards,

TfL Ref: FOI-0838-2425
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on10 June 2024.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.

In accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation, information where there is less than five people has been withheld as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act as personal data of these persons could be identified. Disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of Article 5 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.
The number of DMU (Depot Maintenance Unit) members holding an AM2E certificate in September 2022. (AM2E – Assessment of Occupational Competence, Electrotechnical; provided by National Electrotechnical Training)
This qualification is not a requirement for the position, and therefore there are 0 members holding this qualification.

Please note the response for points 5 to 7 is provided below.
8. Pay rise deal for 2023-2024
The revised London Underground offer consists of a 5% increase in base pay plus a £1,000 consolidated payment. In addition, a consolidated £400 payment to colleagues paid below £35,000 and £200 to colleagues paid between £35,000 and £40,000.
We will increase salary ranges by 5% up to a maximum of £99,500. Colleagues within a range already above £99,500 will receive a consolidated increase up to the maximum salary of the range. Where a consolidated payment would take a colleague’s salary over the range, any additional value will be paid as a non-consolidated (i.e. one-off lump sum) payment.
9. Code of conduct policy P078
