Senior Attorney / Assistant Attorney 1,2,3 (NY HELPS) - 94055

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the description. First part: "Description Duties Description The Bureau of Administrative Hearings (BAH) is responsible for enforcing the Public Health Law and sections of the Social Services Law. BAH reviews enforcement referrals from numerous Department programs and recommends appropriate resolutions through settlement terms or through hearings, prepares cases for hearing and represents the Department at these hearings. BAH responsibilities also include drafting and defending at administrative hearings orders issued by the Commissioner to address public health emergencies; and regulatory and legislative initiatives. Specific duties for the Senior Attorney include but are not limited to: ..." Thus we have duties list. We need to put duties under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. We need to extract each duty bullet from the list after "Specific duties for the Senior Attorney include but are not limited to:" then a series separated by semicolons? Actually they are separated by semicolons and line breaks. Let's list them: - Review and analyze assigned cases; - Gather all the necessary case files; - Interview program staff or investigators when necessary; - Analyze evidence and conduct legal research relating novel enforcement issues; - Review the strength and weakness of evidence; - Work with program staff on appropriateness of penalties and terms of settlement; - Draft Stipulation and Orders; - Ensure proper internal procedures are followed during final disposition; - Analyze evidence and conduct legal research relating especially to evidentiary and procedural issues; - Prepare evidence and witnesses for trial-type administrative hearings; - Appear on behalf of the Department of Health at administrative hearings held before Administrative Law Judges and advocate the Department’s legal case; - Examine and cross examine witnesses; - Draft and submit legal briefs on various points of law in connection with administrative adjudicatory hearings, including motions and post hearing briefs; - Coordinate with the Office of the Attorney General, district attorneys and other criminal law enforcement agencies on cases of mutual interest; - Ensure all case file records are properly identified, stored and managed; - Work with Program staff in reviewing the complaint; - Coordinate with NYS Division of Human Rights in preparation for response; - Review records of employees; - Draft and submit the Department’s response to the Complaint; - Prepare evidence and witnesses for trial-type administrative hearings; - Appear on behalf of the Department of Health at administrative hearings held before Administrative Law Judges and advocate the Department’s legal case; - Provide legal opinions and enforcement advice to Health Department program clients; - Assist Program staff and DOH Program attorneys in drafting of proposed regulations and laws; - Assist Program in operationalizing enforcement responsibilities of the Department; - Prepare and conduct trainings for investigators. Note some duplicates: "Prepare evidence and witnesses for trial-type administrative hearings;" appears twice; "Appear on behalf of the Department of Health at administrative hearings held before Administrative Law Judges and advocate the Department’s legal case;" appears twice. We should preserve all substantive information; but duplicates maybe okay. We could keep as is. Next: Qualifications section: "Minimum Qualifications Reassignment: Current NYS Department of Health (DOH) employee with permanent or contingent permanent status as an Assistant Attorney 1, NS, Assistant Attorney 2, NS, Assistant Attorney 3, NS or Senior Attorney, G-25. Transfer: Current NYS employee with one year of permanent or contingent permanent competitive service in a title eligible for transfer under Section 70.1 of the Civil Service Law. Ny Helps Assistant Attorney 1, NS: Law school graduation and/or eligibility for NYS Bar Admission. Assistant Attorney 2, NS: Admission to NYS Bar. Assistant Attorney 3, NS: 12 months as an Assistant Attorney 2, or Admission to the NYS Bar and 12 months of subsequent satisfactory legal experience. Senior Attorney, G-25: 12 months as an Assistant Attorney 3, or Admission to the NYS Bar and 24 months of subsequent satisfactory legal experience.

Position may be filled at the Senior Attorney level or one of the Assistant Attorney traineeship appointment levels. Appointment title will be dependent upon qualifications of candidate selected. This position may be designated 55-b/c and is subject to verification of applicant eligibility." Then "Preferred Qualifications: Admission to the New York State Bar and current registration to practice law in New York State is necessary for employment. Disbarment or loss of registration shall result in termination or suspension of employment. The candidate should be a highly motivated individual interested in working in an active legal team environment.

Experience in courts or administrative hearings, or matters involving public health issues would be valuable but is not required." Then "Additional Comments When reviewing qualifications, omissions and vagueness cannot be interpreted in the candidate’s favor. Candidates are responsible for providing accurate and clear descriptions of their experience demonstrating how they meet the minimum qualifications. This position is part of the NYS HELPS program. No examination is required. We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: Holiday & Paid Time Off Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Pension from New York State Employees’ Retirement System Shift & Geographic pay differentials Affordable Health Care options Family dental and vision benefits at no additional cost NYS Deferred Compensation plan Access to NY 529 and NY ABLE College Savings Programs, and U.S. Savings Bonds And many more..." Then mission statement etc. Then accommodation contact etc. Then salary info: "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range). Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations, and negotiated union contracts." We need to include sections only if real specific content. We have: - About the role: maybe we can use the initial description about BAH responsibilities as "About the role". That is substantive. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Could be "Requirements". But we also have Qualifications section. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which to use. We have both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section. Requirements could be maybe "Minimum Qualifications" as Requirements. But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including both minimum and preferred), Benefits. Possibly Skills could be derived from preferred qualifications (strong legal skills, teamwork, decision-making, communication, caseload management). Could make a Skills section. Pay: we have salary info but not specific numbers. It says "annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range)". That's vague but still specific? It's not a number. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state something about salary: "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range). Promotion salaries are calculated..." This is not a specific number but it's a statement about how salary is determined. Is that considered filler? It's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a description of salary determination. Might be acceptable to include Pay section with that statement. However the instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about salary, albeit generic. I'd include Pay section with that statement. Schedule: no mention of schedule (full-time, part-time, hours). Not present, so omit Schedule. Benefits: we have a list: "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: Holiday & Paid Time Off Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Pension from New York State Employees’ Retirement System Shift & Geographic pay differentials Affordable Health Care options Family dental and vision benefits at no additional cost NYS Deferred Compensation plan Access to NY 529 and NY ABLE College Savings Programs, and U.S. Savings Bonds And many more..." Thus Benefits section. Skills: we could extract from preferred qualifications: strong legal skills, teamwork, decision-making, oral/written communication, manage varied caseload. Also maybe experience in courts/admin hearings or public health issues valuable but not required. Could make Skills section. Requirements: maybe we could combine Minimum Qualifications into Requirements. But we already have Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including both minimum and preferred), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. But we need to follow the headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can omit those not needed. So we will output:

  About the role

  ... description of BAH ...

  Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...

  Qualifications

  Minimum Qualifications: ...

  Preferred Qualifications: ...

  maybe combine. But we might also include Skills separate: but we could embed skills in Qualifications. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we put skills inside Qualifications, that's fine. But we have a separate Qualifications heading; we could include both minimum and preferred under that. Alternatively we could have Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for preferred, Skills for skill list. That would be three sections plus About role, Responsibilities, Benefits, Pay = 6 sections. Might be okay but risk thin. Let's decide: We'll do About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (covering both minimum and preferred), Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "And many more..." maybe we keep as part of benefits list but it's vague. Could keep as part of benefits paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, mission statement, etc. Remove those. Thus final HTML:
