Transfer: Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive service in a title eligible for transfer via Section 52.6 of the Civil Services Law. Information regarding transfer eligibility may be available on the Civil Service Career Mobility Office website at http://careermobilityoffice.cs.ny.gov/cmo/.

Please note that under Civil Service Law, an employee cannot have two consecutives upward 52.6 or 70.1 transfers without an intervening eligible list appointment, if such transfers would result in an increase of more than two salary grades.

Provisional or Non-Competitive Promotion: Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive service as a Human Resources Specialist 2, SG-23.

Provisional Appointment: A provisional appointment requires that the employee take the next examination for the title and be reachable on the resulting eligible list. All candidates at the highest score are immediately reachable. Candidates at the lower scores can be considered only when there are fewer than 3 candidates at the higher scores. If a provisionally appointed candidate is either not successful on the examination or not immediately reachable on the eligible list, they generally will not be allowed to remain in the position.

Non-Competitive Promotion (NCP): In accordance with Section 52.7 of the Civil Service Law, if the number of qualified candidates who apply for the position is three or less, a permanent appointment can be made, at agency discretion, by non-competitive promotion of an applicant who meets the minimum qualifications.
