Additional Comments

This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).

At this time, agencies may recruit and hire employees by making temporary appointments.

In May 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to permanent non-competitive and the official probationary period will begin.

At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination.

Employees will then be afforded with all the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State.

While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Telecommuting: Opportunities to telecommute will be discussed at interview
