Bus Driver Recruitment Bonus Program

The purpose of the Bus Driver Recruitment Bonus Program is to provide an incentive for UCPS employees to support recruiting efforts targeting the hiring of school bus drivers.

Eligibility

Current UCPS employees are eligible for this program.

Form Submission and Process

Once a current UCPS employee establishes contact with a prospective driver and the prospective driver begins the application process, the UCPS employee will complete the recommendation form. The form will be forwarded to the Transportation Office on Goldmine Road (Scan to Brenda Stack).

Once the following requirements are met, the employee that made the recommendation for hire will be awarded a recruiting bonus of $200.00; the bonus will be taxed accordingly through payroll.

Prospective drivers are defined as school bus drivers who have never been employed by UCPS as a school bus driver.

  • The newly hired driver must operate a school bus for 60 consecutive school days driving the equivalent
    of 6 hours per day (on average).

Prospective drivers that contacted UCPS based on sponsored advertising activities (website, billboards, signage, etc.) do not qualify employees for the bus driver recruitment bonus program.
