Working for the City of New York can be a rewarding and exciting experience, and it can also come with a lot of questions. City government is serious business and requires many policies and procedures to keep things running smoothly, which can be a lot for employees to keep track of!
These policies are spelled out in the City’s Personnel Service Bulletins (PSB). They provide guidance on issues ranging from residency requirements to lateness policies to safety inspection programs.
Every manager in the City should be familiar with the PSBs. They are an important resource for you to use to ensure that you are getting that to which you are entitled, and they are essential for you to be a good leader for your staff. It is incredibly difficult to be a good leader if you don’t know the rules that govern how your workplace operates. Every manager should be able to shepherd their team and guide them through the intricacies of City government to help them be the best employee they can. Now is a great time to reacquaint yourself with the PSBs.
