THE ROLE

At RCDA we believe in a healthy work life balance, which is why we embrace a hybrid of in person and work from home schedule. Fostering a culture of wellness and self-care, we also acknowledge our managers who work a significant number of hours within a two-week period with DA certificates, allowing them a day off without having to use their accrued leave. We offer five (5) weeks of paid leave and twelve sick days for the year.

RCDA provides extensive benefits packages:

- Professional development programs including in-house CLE courses.


LOAN FORGIVENESS:
The federal government provides student loans forgiveness through its Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PLF) to all qualifying public service employees. Working with the Staten Island District Attorney’s Office qualifies you as a public service employee, which forgives the remaining balance on your direct loans after you’ve reached a certain number of qualifying payments (most people use this to forgive school loans)! Please visit the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program site to view the eligibility requirements: Public Service Loan Forgiveness | Federal Student Aid
