Is that true? Doesn't make sense to me. (Meaning you have to do 20 and then collect a 20 + whatever time you had with NYPD for your pension. As opposed to going over to NYPD and only having to do whatever's left of your 20 years of city service.)
I called the DSNY union and got different answers from different people. Anyone know for sure?
And when I leave (whenever that is....I was supposed to be in the July class but never recieved my medical notification...went down to DCAS and they put me back on list for September class that never happened because of the economy....)......am I considered a "new hire" even though I've been paying into the same pension for 5 years now?
Any help would be much appreciated...

I believe it is that your time counts up front. You get credit for whatever time you worked in NYPD and put in DSNY when it comes to your pension./retirement. What you dont get is senority or and you start off at the same pay rate as a new hire. If you worked 5 years in NYPD your not going to start off with 65,000 in DSNY. Your going to have to work your 5 years to get up there. But at least you only have 15 years to do till you can retire.
Even thou I work for DSNY HR I still think you should call them. 646-885-0900. They will answer all these questions. Just tell them that your on the list 6063 and that you currently work for the NYPD and your concerned if your time in NYPD will carry over. And they will connect you to someone in my office that will give you all the facts you need to know.
You must have a low number if you should of been hired in the july class. I guess that means whenever there is a next class you and me might be in the same class :P
