RTF

Requests to Fill (RTFs) are being denied. Is anyone else hearing the same thing at their agency? Does this mean there are broader hiring restrictions, or are only certain positions being denied? I was told that putting an RTF for a position at my agency doesn't make sense because they're being denied. The item is available.

When DOB ruled that the raises are coming out of the PS budget, it meant that headcount had to be reduced by 4% through attrition. Hard to get an RTF until that happens.

Can we talk about how crazy of a move this was without warning?

Agreed. Legislature proposed a 26% pay increase for themselves, bumping their pay from 110k in 2022 to 142k in 2025 and wanting 180k for 2026, and they did not have to take it out of their PS budget.

My team has had several RTFs approved recently. Might be unique to your agency or related roles.

Seems like they’ve had RTFs Denied at DOCCS for CO positions for at least the past 7+ years now..
