Duties

This is a seasonal term appointment and includes the same benefits as a term appointment but does not provide work on a year-round basis. You can expect to work a minimum of 20 pay periods per year and a maximum of 25 pay periods per year. Non-pay status is anticipated between January and April each year. This is a term position (more than 1 year) with an initial appointment expecting to last at least 13 months but may be extended up to a total of three years, or more based on any changes to regulations governing the number of years term appointments may last, without further competition. Term positions do not convey permanent status in the Federal service. The National Park Service retains the right to extend the duration of this appointment after selection and/or appointment, based on changes to the regulation governing the number of years term appointments may last. This change, which may be made at the agency's sole discretion and without further competition, shall not be construed or interpreted as the granting of a right to a selectee or employee to such an extension. No extension to a term appointment shall be granted to a selectee/employee to an amount of time that exceeds the maximum number of years authorized under any present or current regulation, unless such regulation expressly allows such action. The primary duties of the Recreation Fee Tech position will be to assist with 2-20 Recreation Fee Technicians and volunteers, based on our season.

If part-time, the hours must be annotated to be able to pro-rate the amount of qualified specialized experience.

This experience includes activities such as: handling, tracking, or depositing monies; using software programs to maintain financial/accounting data (such as fee and stock data); performing fee collection, accounting, or financial duties; using tools or equipment (e.g., cash registers, calculators, etc.) to make sales transactions; and ensuring accountability of funds and accurate financial records.

The total must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. You must include transcripts. A copy of your official transcripts will be required before entrance on duty, if selected. Volunteer Experience: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
