Show All Answers
1.
How long will I have to wait for an interview?
Once a position is closed, all applications are processed by Human Resources and sent directly to the department that is hiring. The department may then choose to interview all applicants or contact only the top applicants to set up interviews. Applicants will usually be contacted to set up an interview within a week after the department receives the applications.
2.
What type of salary can I expect to receive?
Each position is posted and advertised at its full range of pay - base entry to maximum level. If the applicant exceeds the minimum qualifications for the position, the department may provide justification and recommend to hire above the minimum entry level for the position, which is also dependent on budget restraints. Salary and benefits combinations are very competitive throughout Monroe County and with private sector positions.
3.
What are the work hours for positions?
Most positions begin work at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. with a 1 hour (unpaid) lunch break. The County realizes the personal needs of employees and attempts to accommodate those needs by restructuring the employee's work hours which still ensures that the services are being provided effectively and efficiently. Departments may allow employees to work a flexible schedule provided they meet the required total number of work hours for that week. For example: Some employees (if working a 40 hour week) may work 10 hours a day for 4 days, or begin work at 7:00 a.m. and end their day at 4:00 p.m.
The County does have some part-time positions, all of which have different work schedules depending on the department's needs. Most part-time positions are at the Libraries and the Social Services Department. Emergency personnel (Firefighters) work 24 hour shifts with 48 hours off in between shifts.

Does the County have any volunteer positions?
Monroe County realizes that many residents wish to provide their services and encourages the public to volunteer in county departments. Visit the volunteer link:

5.
Once I complete and submit my application to the Human Resources Office, do I need to complete and application each time I wish to apply for another position?
You are only required to complete one application for employment with the County. If you are interested in a different position after submitting your application, all that is required is that you contact Human Resources and request that your application be submitted for the position. Your application remains active for one year and you may apply for as many positions as you are interested in during the the one year time period.
