Appointment to this position in State government requires candidates to undergo an investigative screening. This includes a thorough character investigation, a Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Record History Check including fingerprinting. The Commission will pay the fee for fingerprinting. All convictions must be disclosed. Depending on the nature of the job, the criminal convictions discovered, or any falsified or omitted information revealed, the investigative findings may bar appointment or result in removal after appointment. Each case is determined on its own merits, consistent with the applicable provisions of state and federal laws.
Reference Checks and Verification of Credentials: It is the Commission policy to verify credentials, education, and work experience for the position for which you are being considered. We will also conduct reference checks.
Prior Employment Restrictions: The law that established the Commission (Section 107 of NewYork’s Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law) prohibits any person from being employed by the Commission if, during the period commencing three years prior to employment, such person held any interest in, or employment by, any corporation, association or person engaged in gaming activity with the State. However, Part BB of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2019 enabled the Commission to waive for “good cause” the pre-employment restrictions for a prospective employee whose duties and responsibilities are primarily on racetrack grounds via a resolution that outlines the reasons for the waiver and that there are no other qualified candidates with the desired experience for the specific position.

The prohibition against wagering upon any horseracing, commercial gaming, Indian gaming, and charitable gaming activities within the State, however, does not apply to family members of Commission employees. Commission employees are all barred from playing any regulated Interactive Fantasy Sports and sports wagering. To avoid any appearance of impropriety of conflict of interest, Commission employees are prohibited from all aspects of promoting, operating, and playing in any charitable gambling.
Outside Activities and Employment: It is the obligation of every employee of the Commission to pursue a course of conduct that will not cause public concern as to whether such employee is engaged in activities in conflict with the public trust. It is vital that even the appearance of a conflict of interest be avoided in view of the critical nature of the Commission's responsibilities. In addition, employees should not use Commission equipment or supplies, orCommission time to pursue or engage in any such activities.All outside employment and volunteer activities must be approved by the Commission.
Post - Employment Restrictions: Post-employment restrictions apply to all State Officers and Employees subject to Public Officers Law Section 73.They apply to part-time and seasonal employees and apply equally regardless of the duration of employment while with NewYork State.
