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

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

Upon approval to telecommute, OGS D&C employees may telecommute up to 4 days per pay period.
