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 of 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 actual duties may

when responding to this posting. For example, you should provide
specific date ranges for qualifying experience, qualifying
education or certifications, or the age range of individuals

consideration if the information you provide does not meet the
minimum qualifications.Background Investigation Requirements:1) All
prospective employees will be investigated through a Criminal

History Record Checks. All convictions must be reported; conviction
of a felony or misdemeanor, or any falsified or omitted information
on the prospective appointee's employment application, may bar
appointment or result in removal after appointment. Each case will
be determined on its own merits, consistent with the applicable
provisions of State and federal laws, rules, and regulations.
Prospective employees will be fingerprinted in order to obtain a
record of their criminal history information, and may be required
to pay any necessary fees. 2) All prospective employees will be
