Additional Comments *For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title maybe 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.
Responsibilities may include serving a role within the Incident
Command System to support the department’s response to
regional and statewide emergency situations
