Auckland bus users face further disruption on Thursday as drivers and cleaners meet for another vote on their lengthy pay dispute.

The four unions representing 900 New Zealand Bus employees are to hold separate ratification meetings over the company's latest offer of a new collective employment agreement.

The result is that there will be no Metrolink, Go West, Waka Pacific, North Star, Link and City Circuit bus services between 10am and 1.30pm Thursday, NZ Bus says.

Full services will run until 9.30am and again from 2pm.

School bus services will not be affected.

A combined ratification meeting involving all four unions three weeks ago resulted in the offer then on the table being voted down, despite a recommendation by the unions' bargaining unit that it be accepted.

The pay dispute led to widespread disruption to services for several days last month.
