HappyGoLucky Posted January 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2009 Hello people. I'm new to the board and a question for you MTA guys a gals out there. I was working for the NYPD and in september theym terminated my probation period. I spoke to my PBA delegates and they told me because I was on proobation the city can do that. I spoke to a few lawyers and the said the same thing (Sucks). I didn't get in trouble with the nypd they terminated me right when the recession hit. My question is that if i was terminated from the nypd can I still get hired by MTA because its two different agencies. I took that conductor exam in december but i know thats a bit of a long wait.I guess me getting terminated was some kind of sign because i got terminated the same day for the filing of the conductor exam how weird is that...Any info would be greatly appreciated.. I just wish the nypd would have given me at least the option to resign..That just goes to show how much the city really think about their employees.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Posted January 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2009 The fact that you got fired from the NYPD should have NO effect on you getting any other city jobs unless you did something severe that you aren't saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted January 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2009 Where you worked will have no effect on what you do now, if you want to work or the let's say... What position are you looking into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted January 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2009 If you are working for the MTA that should have no effect, unless say you shot someone while on duty or done something equally bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It shouldn't cause it was more of a lay-off not, being fired. I would take Maserati's advice and apply online to MTAPD. At least your badge will have more jurisdictional influence......

Generally, you would be disqualified from further city employment if you lied on your employment application. Since your termination doesn't appear to be based as a result of gross misconduct, you shouldn't have a problem with gaining future city employment. Best of luck.

That is weird that they would "fire" you instead of laying you off. I am also shocked PBA didn't do nothing to keep your job that's a great union. MTA will probably hire you since your saying your release from NYPD was nothing related to disciplinary action. The wait is long for most city tests best thing to do is look around don't linger on waiting for MTA to call try and find something else till they call you.

HappyGoLucky Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted February 7, 2009 They gave me a three sentence letter saying that your probationary period has been terminated by the police commissioner.and something about regulations section 5.2.7. I dont have the letter at hand. I never got in trouble or anything with the job. So I call up my delegate and he tells me that the city can do that because i'm on probation see what an ouytside lawyer says. I tell him what am I paying union dues for if I cant be protected while on probation. Any way I speak to a few lawyers and they pretty much say the same thing. because your on probation by the city they can terminate your probation. I forgot what the lawyer called it. so now I'm unemployed at the worst possible time..Thats the kind of luck I have on my side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the information: According to the New York City Personnel Rules And Regulations, Section 5.2.7, an agency head, “mayterminate the employment of any probationer whose conduct and performance is not satisfactory after the completion of a minimum period of probationary service and before the completion of the maximum period of probationary service by notice to the said probationer and to the city personnel director.” Which I found in a rule book regarding NYPD disciplinary actions towards P/Os.

HappyGoLucky Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted February 7, 2009 Thats crazy because I had good evaluations. I never got in trouble with the job at all. I guess the man upstairs has aplan for everyone. I was terminated in september when the economy started to tank i think that had something to do with it who knows. One crazy thing is this my daughter stared kindergarden september 9. I had nobody to pick her up after school, I get terminated on september 5. God works in mysterious ways..Why couldnt he just let me win the lottery or something..Lol. Thanx Y2julio for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
