Additional Comments * For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which

means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which

they apply. 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.

Your required educational credentials must have been awarded by an educational institution accredited by a

regional, national, or specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the United States (U.S.)

Department of Education/Secretary of Education. If awarded by an institution outside of the U.S. and its

territories, you must provide independent verification of equivalency. A list of companies that provide these

services (fees must be paid to the company you choose) can be found at:
