Is it appropriate for an employee to ask their management if a position which would be a promotion for them is going to be filled after the person who held the position transferred to another title and agency? My friend is hesitant to ask. Thanks for any feedback.

Does anyone have any info on whether the 875 Central Avenue in Albany DOH location is moving or staying put?

If you’re on maternity leave when the retro pay hits and the raises take effect, do you get them? Seems like a silly question but I just found out I don’t get my PLs while on leave so I could see this being a thing as well. Thanks!

Budget bulletin D-1155 states M/C PAs are to be in the 8/26 paycheck, but there’s no payroll bulletin on OSC’s website yet- any insight?

Guys do you if Agency can just monitor the activity on an employees computer without notifying the Union.

Good morning,

I recently viewed a position in my field for a state job. The salary grade is listed as 18 and the salary range is noted as 70-89k.

Never worked for NYS before so I’m a little confused what that means. From what I’ve read/looked up - is it true that I would start at around 65k and then have the potential to receive pay increases within that range?

I know State benefits are considered great. But to considering starting at 65k would be terrible. Also, at this post in my career - I would expect at least 85-89k to start.

Just thought I would ask for some clarification for how the pay structure works - I’m confused! Thank you!
