If that situation happens after year(s) of pay increases in the position, do they let you go back to the hourly rate with earned raises, or have to start all over again at starting pay rate? If you come back within the year, you lose nothing. It’ll be like you never left. After the year if you’re allowed to go back, you’ll keep just your pay rate and anything else that your total time of service gets you. (i.e. vacation). You will lose some/all of your seniority for picking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted October 3, 2023 Share #28 Posted October 3, 2023 4600 is now open for filing. Looks like they want the diploma/GED by the end of the application period opposed to the date of appointment like before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony sallamack Posted October 4, 2023 Share #30 Posted October 4, 2023 So I’m currently a Nyct employee and I was recommending my neighbor to file for this exam. He’s not sure where his diploma is, are they going to email everyone by the end of the month to send it in. How does that work now that they changed the requirements to the end of the application period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzer120 Posted October 5, 2023 Share #32 Posted October 5, 2023 Would someone still have to submit their HS Diploma if they have higher forms of education? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You just take your degree and that is enough. As long as it's a US degree you have no problems. If it's a foreign degree I think you have an additional step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misslo Posted October 9, 2023 Share #35 Posted October 9, 2023 I find this part confusing. But I think you have to get your HS diploma evaluated by a company that does that stuff. It only applies to immigrants who has a HS diploma outside the US. They did that shit with the station agent couple years back and the recent one. I was DQ'ed because I didn't get my HS diploma evaluated. It sucks. However I have a US college degree but it doesnt matter they still want immigrants HS certificate or diploma evaluated. It cost like $115.00. All these steps. Geesh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason is that their website crapped itself and has been giving thousands of people login trouble to apply. They even went back to paper applications until the 15th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
