Senior Attorney, SG-25

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes mission statement. Could be "About the role" or "About the position". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real specific content. We have description of duties, qualifications (minimum qualifications), appointment method details, salary info, location adjustment, appointment status. Also mention NY HELPS etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (mission statement), "Responsibilities" (duties list), "Qualifications" (minimum qualifications and appointment methods), "Pay" (salary ranges and downstate adjustment), "Benefits"? Not mentioned benefits explicitly except maybe note about negotiating unit affecting salary, insurance and other benefits - but not specific benefits. Probably not include Benefits unless specific. Schedule not mentioned. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. Also maybe "Appointment Information" but not in list; we could incorporate into Qualifications or a separate section like "Appointment Details". But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine appointment method and qualifications into Qualifications. Pay separate. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Senior Attorney. Not to repeat. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some appointment method details, NY HELPS, List Appointment, 55 b/c, Transfer etc. Those are substantive? They are about appointment methods; could be part of Qualifications or a separate "Appointment Eligibility". But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could put under a section "Appointment Eligibility" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are examples; we can use others? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings, but not limited to? It says use

for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those examples. So we need to map content to those headings. Appointment eligibility could go under Qualifications (since it's about eligibility). Pay under Pay. Benefits maybe not. Schedule none. Thus sections: About the role (mission statement), Responsibilities (duties list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications + appointment methods + NY HELPS etc), Pay (salary ranges + downstate adjustment). Possibly also "Appointment Status" but could be part of Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Now produce HTML fragment:

About the role

... mission statement ...

Responsibilities

• ... each duty ...

Qualifications

... minimum qualifications paragraph ... plus appointment method details ...

Maybe we need to break qualifications into subpoints? Could keep as

with sentences. Pay:

Pay

Salary: $100,671-$126,875 (Grade-25 Level) ... plus downstate adjustment.

We must not include boilerplate like "Appointment Status: Permanent" maybe include in Qualifications or Pay? It's substantive; could add to Qualifications paragraph. Let's extract exact text. Description: "The New York State Department of Financial Services seeks to build an equitable, transparent, and resilient financial system that benefits individuals and supports business. Through engagement, data-driven regulation and policy, and operational excellence, the Department and its employees are responsible for empowering consumers and protecting them from financial harm; ensuring the health of the entities we regulate; driving economic growth in New York through responsible innovation; and preserving the stability of the global financial system." That's About the role. Duties list: after "Duties include, but are not limited to, the following:" then bullet points separated by semicolons. Need to convert each to

. List: - Assists in drafting policy recommendations, and contributes extensively to the analysis of policy proposals, in consideration of DFS’s overall financial inclusion priorities and policy landscape; - Assists in the review of proposed legislation and regulations; - Assists in identifying emerging strategies and policies related to financial inclusion and develop proposals for deployment across the state; - Conducts legal research and information gathering; - Conducts special studies and research about issues and programs of interest related to equity and inclusion in the banking and insurance space; - Works with DFS business units to collect and analyze data related to access to financial services; - Works on other legal projects and initiatives as requested; - Drafts reports, memoranda, presentations, and other written work products for internal and external stakeholders; and - Performs other duties as required. We'll produce

for each. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications section includes: "Senior Attorney SG-25: One year as an Assistant Attorney 3 or admission to the NYS Bar and two years of subsequent professional legal experience. Assistant Attorney 3 SG-22: One year as Assistant Attorney 2 or admission to the NYS Bar and one year of subsequent professional legal experience. Assistant Attorney 2 SG-20: Admission to NYS Bar. Assistant Attorney 1 SG-18: Law School Graduation (or other eligibility to take the NYS Bar Examination). Note: If you are appointed as an Assistant Attorney 1, you will be automatically advanced to Assistant Attorney 2 upon admission to the New York State Bar. If you are not admitted to the New York State Bar within two years of appointment, your appointment will be terminated. The Traineeship: If you are appointed to one of the entry levels of the Attorney Traineeship, you will normally be advanced after each twelve months of satisfactory service to the next higher title (with salary based on performance) until you reach the full performance level of a Senior Attorney. If your final performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 2, and your six-month performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 3 are rated outstanding, you may be eligible for early advancement to Senior Attorney, reducing your traineeship by six months. All service during the traineeship will be in probationary status. Performance will be evaluated every six months against established standards set by the individual agencies which reflect a timetable for gaining the knowledge and skills necessary so that appointees are able to function at the Senior Attorney level at the completion of the traineeship. NY HELPS: This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). The NY HELPS Program allows agencies to fill certain positions via permanent non-competitive appointments. At a future date (within one year of your permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified. List Appointment: Candidates must be reachable on the Civil Service eligible list for 20-620010. 55 b/c Appointment: Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements of the Governor's Program to Hire Individuals and Veterans with Disabilities as described in Civil Service Law 55b/c. Information about this program can be found here: https://www.cs.ny.gov/rp55/ Transfer: Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive service in a title eligible for transfer via Sections 52.6 of the Civil Service Law. Information regarding transfer eligibility may be available on the Civil Service Career Mobility Office website at https://careermobilityoffice.cs.ny.gov/cmo/. Please Note that under Civil Service Law, an employee cannot have two consecutive upward 70.1 or 52.6 transfers without an intervening eligible list appointment if such transfers would exceed two salary grades. Additional Comments Please note that a change in negotiating unit may affect your salary, insurance and other benefits. Salary: $100,671-$126,875 (Grade-25 Level) $86,031 (Grade NS-22) $77,532 (Grade NS-20) $69,964 (Grade NS-18) Positions located within the New York City metropolitan area, as well as Suffolk, Nassau, Rockland, and Westchester Counties, are also eligible to receive an additional $4,150 annual downstate adjustment. Appointment Status: Permanent" We need to include all that in Qualifications (maybe plus Pay separate). But Pay section should include salary info and downstate adjustment. The Qualifications section should include minimum qualifications, appointment methods, traineeship, NY HELPS, List Appointment, 55b/c, Transfer, note about negotiating unit, appointment status. Pay section: salary ranges and downstate adjustment. We must not repeat content. So we will put salary info only in Pay section, not duplicate in Qualifications. Thus Qualifications will exclude the salary lines and downstate adjustment. Let's craft Qualifications paragraph(s). Could be multiple

but we can combine into one

with sentences. However it's long; maybe better to use

for each qualification level? But instruction: Use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements; we could use
  • for each minimum qualification level. That seems appropriate. Also for appointment methods etc could be list. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can structure as:

    Qualifications

    • Senior Attorney SG-25: One year as an Assistant Attorney 3 or admission to the NYS Bar and two years of subsequent professional legal experience.
    • Assistant Attorney 3 SG-22: One year as Assistant Attorney 2 or admission to the NYS Bar and one year of subsequent professional legal experience.
    • Assistant Attorney 2 SG-20: Admission to NYS Bar.
    • Assistant Attorney 1 SG-18: Law School Graduation (or other eligibility to take the NYS Bar Examination).

    Note: If you are appointed as an Assistant Attorney 1, you will be automatically advanced to Assistant Attorney 2 upon admission to the New York State Bar. If you are not admitted to the New York State Bar within two years of appointment, your appointment will be terminated.

    The Traineeship: If you are appointed to one of the entry levels of the Attorney Traineeship, you will normally be advanced after each twelve months of satisfactory service to the next higher title (with salary based on performance) until you reach the full performance level of a Senior Attorney. If your final performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 2, and your six-month performance evaluation as an Assistant Attorney 3 are rated outstanding, you may be eligible for early advancement to Senior Attorney, reducing your traineeship by six months. All service during the traineeship will be in probationary status. Performance will be evaluated every six months against established standards set by the individual agencies which reflect a timetable for gaining the knowledge and skills necessary so that appointees are able to function at the Senior Attorney level at the completion of the traineeship.
