So sick of government employees being targeted. We're just trying to fucking do our jobs. Unreal. Scary.

I recently found out i passed the 45-850 Court Assistant exam-yay!!!! My location preferences are in Westchester and NYC, but my rank is 4804...any thoughts on if I'll be canvassed? Crossing my fingers because I lowkey really need this job...thanks to any who can offer insight or advice!

I am running into some issues as I apply to jobs that are the same title and grade as my current position. I keep getting a rejection email stating that I don't meet the minimum qualifications, but I don't understand how that is possible when I have been in the identical title and grade for over 2 years. Has anyone else run into this situation when trying to make a lateral move?

I am considering applying to two jobs, one is in the same agency I currently work in and one is in a different agency.

When I switched from HRI to state my PTO got reset to 0 and I had to wait a month to get my first paycheck. If these are true when transferring agencies then I think I will try to stay with my same agency. And if it is true when starting any new role, I will just stay in my current job.

Also I think agency policy said I'm supposed to wait something like 6 weeks before I could start working from home? My manager told me I could start working from home immediately so I never had a waiting period. But if I temporarily lost my ability to WFH that would also be an issue

Is anyone here currently a State Program Examiner (SPE) at the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (NYS OSC)?

Is the telework/hybrid setup really as advertised, or are people expected to be in more often than it sounds? Also, I would appreciate any insights on the culture.

I have other offers and options, but the 50% telework option they're advertising along with a NYC based role seems pretty good to me, from what I got so far it seems the career progression ladder is slow and the pay is initially low. Do people seem happy staying there long term, or is there a lot of burnout/turnover?

"In the end, 26,067 ballots were validated by AAA and counted. That means nearly 46 percent

of the 56,782 eligible voters — or almost 1 out of every 2 eligible members — voted. Of those

who voted, 88% supported the agreement."

A while back someone shared an excel doc, it listed all job titles and had a breakdown of salary changes for an exceptional 6 month review, performance advance, etc. I’m likely butchering the description but if anyone knows what I’m talking about and has either the link to that one or an updated one, it would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone ever taken PPL while also receiving short term disability through Sunlife/PEF?

I assume that because PPL is a contract benefit through the state and STD insurance is through Sunlife that there should be no issue taking both at the same time. I could not find anything online or in the sunlife STD benefits document stating this is not allowed.

I’m due to give birth early next year and was planning on only taking the 12 weeks of PPL without using any accrued time. But I'm wondering if I can only receive the STD benefit if I take sick time off.

I’m planning to call PEF tomorrow to confirm. TYIA!

I was hired a few months ago. For the purpose of the example, let's say my "Pay Rate" listed on my pay check is $100k. Since there are 26 paychecks throughout the year, my "Regular Pay Salary Employee" should be $3,846 approximately.

$100,000 / 26 = $3,846.15

But instead, it is $3,836, meaning that I'm $10 short each paycheck or $260 total for the year.

Is this logic correct? Should "Pay Rate" divided by 26 equal "Regular Pay Salary Employee"? Maybe someone can check thier paycheck and confirm. Just wanted ask here before I check with my HR.

hi there. my license expired and i didn’t catch it in time so i had it null for about two weeks. i guess internal investigations contacted my boss to let them know of this and that i could not drive any state vehicles. they also asked if it was part of my job description which i don’t think it was but my boss is checking if it was possibly included at a minimal rate. can i get into any real trouble for this?

i have my temporary license since renewing. i’m also not in a union (M/C).

just curious if anyone has heard of this happening before.

91.5 High 400s do i have a chance?

Hi. I got my court assistant scores back but I’m not sure what the next step in the process is. Am I added to a list? Do i wait for them to contact me? Pls assist

I am trying to find out how salaries are calculated if one moves to a position in a lower salary grade. Is one given the top salary rate for the position if already making that salary or can the salary be lower? Thanks.

Friendly reminder to keep an eye out for an email (hopefully and or allegedly sometime today) with the final count for the proposed PEF contract.

now that the contract is ratified when they get around to paying the back pay since April will it be subject to extra being taken out in PEF dues, health insurance premiums, and all the usual other deductions? Also it’s back to the 2nd paycheck in April right?
