Okay, good to know. That's interesting. 180 has been a dedicated hub for so long with those operations departments you mentioned. Guess they'll finally get those bus lanes free on Livingston. Thanks again.

Just curious here, are all operational divisions moving out of 180? This an end lease situation? Seems like a quick move(end of month) if it's their entire operation at 180 moving. Not knowledgeable about the history, but that's a major logistical point for TA.

Okay, you're infact looking for a wage progression chart. While postings for jobs will show the progression chart, if there's been no recent posting it might not be easily accessible to grab. I would suspect the progression will mirror the breakdowns of most twu repped positions. 70% $25.05 of $35.79. This will be just math if you know the time period to 100% and the percentage increase on the progression. But yeah, some job postings do offer the charts up front

Yes, the AI assist will probably allow for ones resume to aquire a higher score against the stated position. Still, the wait times tend to be lengthy. So, apply in masse & forget. Only time you can count it is if they actually contact you back at anytime in the future.

No, cover letters are not going to tip any scales. The response rate on application is very low. There are hundreds of applicants for single positions. So just on odds it is difficult to get advanced up to the next level. Some have mentioned tweaking resumes to match to postings though to increase odds. So using AI assistance for resume writing. And again, transit oftrn takes 6+ months past an application to contact those that get past initial screens. So patience is a key. But results are slim. Process in totality is long & often times messy. Good luck

You may find information in a previous common Exam thread. https://www.nyctransitforums.com/topic/28895-traffic-checker-mabstoa/page/1/ Likely you can email examsunit & inquire on where they are at hiring on the list or visit 180 & inquire in person. If you've done pre employment, you can likely inquire about the status of your processing.

Trading full time work (at post office) for part time work (traffic checker) likely is not in one's best interest. You are employed & can wait the duration for a full time entry at TA when the time comes & you're called for something that is full time. If you're on a civil service list, you can reinstate by contacting dcas. Once you have been removed from outgoing certifications. You can be on multiple lists, and seek the best/most desired for yourself if you can wait it out.

While a competitive list lasts years, it only gets certified (pulled) for possible appointments ever so often. When they call you, you can appear & go through the process. Or not show up & get likely removed from the pull list of candidates. If you are removed, you have the right to reinstate your name on the list. Biggie advised you well, if you contact them likely they can give you a near term date if you can't make the appointment. If you don't process, or no show likely you may get dropped off the eligible list until you reinstate.. However, you will have to wait for another certification (pull) from the list. And these can take a while. His advice on Checkers/Station Agents is also very informative on the process. Good luck. How well you did on the SA Exam, when they score it, when they establish a list & when it gets certified will all determine how long it will take to get to you on that (potential) future list.

I'm curious how this all ties into the State Sick Leave Law https://www.ny.gov/new-york-paid-sick-leave/new-york-paid-sick-leave#permitted_uses There's a whole section on it about retaliation if sick time is used. But it would seem TA limits the use on alloted sick time people accrue. They give you say 1 sick per month in accrued sick, but will penalize folks who utilize over a certain amount on an annual basic. Then at a terminal point pay sick out at 50%. I suppose once you have sick notes from docs the amount you can use is the amount you have in accrual.

Quite Interesting, thanks all for the info. Guess there is a cost savings for them as well. Limit sick pay (which pays at 100%) while you're working but only pay it out at 50% at terminal point.

You will be counseled to improve your sick leave record after your fifth unsubstantiated absence (no doctor's lines) for the year. On the 6th unsubstantiated absence, you will be placed on sick control and you will be required to provide doctor's line for every instance you book sick Thanks Jericho. When you mention "for the year" are you speaking for a calendar year Jan-Dec or for an MTA annual Year of May-May? So key is to keep it under 5 sick/callouts per year. Good info. Do you know of a 70/30 rule as well, something to the effect of maintaining 70% of your accrued sick, or be placed into console/control? Thanks again!

What exactly is "sick consoliing & control" what triggers them to occur at transit?
