§ 57. Continuous  recruitment  for certain positions.  Notwithstanding   any other provisions of this chapter or any other law, the civil service   department or a municipal commission may establish a continuing eligible   list for any class of positions for which it finds inadequate numbers of   well qualified persons available for recruitment.   Names  of  eligibles   shall  be  inserted  in  such  list  from time to time as applicants are   tested and found qualified in examinations held at such intervals as may   be prescribed by the civil service department  or  municipal  commission   having  jurisdiction.  Such  successive  examinations  shall,  so far as   practicable, be constructed and rated so as to be  equivalent  tests  of   the  merit  and  fitness  of  candidates.  The name of any candidate who   passes any such examination and who  is  otherwise  qualified  shall  be   placed  on the continuing eligible list in the rank corresponding to his   final  rating  on  such  examination.  The  period  of  eligibility   of   successful  candidates  for  certification  and  appointment  from  such   continuing eligible list, as a result of any such examination, shall  be   fixed  by  the  civil  service  department  or municipal commission but,   except as a list may reach an announced terminal date, such period shall   not be less than one year; nor shall such period of  eligibility  exceed   four  years.  Subject  to  such  conditions and limitations as the civil   service department or municipal commission may  prescribe,  a  candidate   may take more than one such examination; provided, however, that no such   candidate  shall  be certified simultaneously with more than one rank on   the continuing eligible list. With respect to any candidate who  applies   for  and  is  granted  additional  credit  in  any such examination as a   disabled or  non-disabled  veteran,  and  for  the  limited  purpose  of   granting such additional credit, the eligible list shall be deemed to be   established on the date on which his name is added thereto.

2021 New York Laws CVS - Civil Service Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists 59 - Placement of County Sheriffs' Personnel in Classified Service.

§ 59. Placement  of  county sheriffs' personnel in classified service.   1. The legislature  hereby  finds  that  the  continued,  uninterrupted,   adequate and efficient operation of the sheriff's department in counties   in  New  York  state  outside  the city of New York is necessary for the   general welfare of the people  of  such  counties;  that  such  adequate   operation  involves  and  requires  personnel  with  highly  specialized   ability, skill,  training  and  knowledge,  integrated  and  unified  by   practical  experience;  that  the January first, nineteen hundred ninety   amendment to subdivision (a) of section thirteen of article thirteen  of   the  New  York  state constitution brings appointees of a county sheriff   into the classified service  of  the  civil  service;  that  to  require   competitive  examination  for  valid  appointment  of  appointees of the   county  sheriff  within  the  classified   service   would   irreparably   disorganize county sheriffs' departments and endanger the public safety,   interrupt  the  continuance  and  performance  of the important services   performed by such sheriff's departments, and place  an  undue  financial   burden on their respective counties.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any provisions to   the  contrary  contained  in  any  general,  special, or local laws, all   lawful appointees of a county sheriff employed as of the effective  date   of this section whose employments hereinbefore were considered not to be   subject to the civil service law, shall continue to hold their positions   without  further  examination  or  qualification  and shall have all the   rights and privileges of the jurisdictional classification to which such   positions may be allocated in the classified service of  the  county  in   which they are employed.

2021 New York Laws CVS - Civil Service Article 4 - Recruitment of Personnel Title A - Examinations and Eligible Lists 59-A - Placement of Detectives and Investigators in Classified Service.

§  59-a.  Placement  of  detectives  and  investigators  in classified   service.   1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and  declares  that  the   continued,  uninterrupted, adequate and efficient operation of detective   and  investigative  units  in  local  police,  correction  or   sheriffs   departments  is  necessary  for  the general welfare of the people; that   such adequate operation involves  and  requires  personnel  with  highly   specialized  ability,  skill,  training, and knowledge; that local civil   service commissions may decide to classify  such  positions  where  they   constitute  bona  fide  civil  service positions as evidenced by factors   including enhanced pay, benefits, and dignity of  position;  that  while   competitive   examination   has  been  deemed  practicable  for  certain   detective and investigator positions, to require  such  examination  for   valid  appointment  of current long standing employees would irreparably   disorganize detective or investigative operations, endanger  the  public   safety,  interrupt the continuity and effective performance of important   investigatory operations.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter or any provisions to   the contrary contained in any  general,  special,  or  local  laws,  any   person  holding  a  permanent  competitive class appointment as a police   officer, correction officer of any rank or deputy sheriff  in  a  police   force,  police department or sheriffs department in a jurisdiction other   than a city with a population of  one  million  or  more  or  the  state   department  of corrections and community supervision, who was serving in   a detective or investigator  capacity,  as  designated  by  such  police   force,  police  department  or  sheriffs  department,  on  the date such   position was classified by the local  civil  service  commission  having   jurisdiction and for at least eighteen months immediately preceding such   date,   shall   receive  a  permanent  appointment  to  a  detective  or   investigator position, in such title as may be  properly  classified  by   the  local civil service commission having jurisdiction, without further   examination  or  qualifications  and  shall  have  all  the  rights  and   privileges  of  the  jurisdictional  class to which such position may be   allocated.

§  59-b.  Promotions of supervisory personnel of the emergency medical   service.  1.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and  declares  that   the   continued,  uninterrupted, adequate and efficient operation of emergency   medical services is necessary for the general  welfare  of  the  people;   that such adequate operation involves and requires personnel with highly   specialized  ability,  skill,  training and knowledge, which necessitate   that vacancies in the emergency medical services  in  the  positions  of   Supervising  Emergency  Medical  Service Specialist Level II (Captains),   Deputy Chief, Division Chief, and Division Commander, shall be filled as   far as practicable by promotion from among persons  holding  competitive   class  positions in a lower grade in the department in which the vacancy   exists, provided that such lower grade positions are in direct  line  of   promotion, as determined by the department or municipal commission.2.  Promotion  shall  be  based  on merit and fitness as determined by   competitive examination,  due  weight  being  given  to  seniority.  The   previous  training  and  experience  of  the candidates, and performance   ratings where available, may be  considered  and  given  due  weight  as   factors  in determining the relative merit and fitness of candidates for   promotion.3.  Any  permanent  competitive  employee  holding  a  provisional  or   discretionary  appointment  in  the  affected  supervisory titles of the   emergency medical service described in subdivision one of  this  section   shall   be  given  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  a  competitive   promotional examination for the next higher level title.4. Except as provided above, the  provisions  of  this  chapter  shall   apply to employees covered by this section.

When an eligible list has been in  existence  for  less   than  one year and contains the names of less than three persons willing   to accept appointment, and a new list for the same position or group  of   positions  is established, the names of the persons remaining on the old   list shall have preference in certification over the new list until such   old list is one year old, and during such period  such  names  shall  be   certified  along  with  enough  names  from  the new list to provide the   appointing officer with a sufficient  number  of  eligibles  from  which   selection  for appointment may be made. Where an old list which has been   in existence for one year or more is continued upon the establishment of   a new list which contains less  than  three  names,  the  civil  service   department  or  a  municipal commission may certify the names on the old   list along with enough names from the new list to provide the appointing   officer with a sufficient number of eligibles from which  selection  for   appointment may be made.2.

Notice of the  proposed  certification   of  eligibles  by  local  residence in accordance with the provisions of   this subdivision shall be included in the announcement  of  examination.   Upon  the  exhaustion  of  the  list  of  local residents certified to a   position in the state service in a particular locality pursuant  to  the   provisions  of  this subdivision, the state-wide list of eligibles shall   be certified to fill vacancies in such position in such locality.

No  credit  shall  be  granted  in  a promotion   examination for out-of-title work.3. Notification to eligible candidates.

§ 71. Reinstatement after separation for disability. Where an employee   has  been separated from the service by reason of a disability resulting   from  occupational  injury  or  disease  as  defined  in  the  workmen's   compensation  law, he or she shall be entitled to a leave of absence for   at least one year, unless his or her disability is of such a  nature  as   to permanently incapacitate him or her for the performance of the duties   of his or her position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where an employee   has  been separated from the service by reason of a disability resulting   from an assault sustained in the course of his or her employment, he  or   she  shall  be  entitled  to  a leave of absence for at least two years,   unless his or her disability is of  such  a  nature  as  to  permanently   incapacitate  him or her for the performance of the duties of his or her   position. Such employee may, within one year after  the  termination  of   such  disability,  make  application  to the civil service department or   municipal commission having jurisdiction over the position last held  by   such  employee  for  a  medical examination to be conducted by a medical   officer selected for that purpose by such department or commission.  If,   upon  such  medical examination, such medical officer shall certify that   such person is physically and mentally fit to perform the duties of  his   or  her  former  position,  he  or she shall be reinstated to his or her   former position, if vacant, or to a vacancy in a similar position  or  a   position in a lower grade in the same occupational field, or to a vacant   position  for  which  he  or  she  was  eligible  for  transfer.  If  no   appropriate vacancy shall exist to which reinstatement may be  made,  or   if  the work load does not warrant the filling of such vacancy, the name   of such person shall be placed upon a preferred  list  for  his  or  her   former  position, and he or she shall be eligible for reinstatement from   such preferred list for a period of four years. In the event  that  such   person  is reinstated to a position in a grade lower than that of his or   her former position, his or her name shall be placed  on  the  preferred   eligible  list  for  his or her former position or any similar position.   This section shall not be  deemed  to  modify  or  supersede  any  other   provisions  of  law  applicable  to the re-employment of persons retired   from the public service on account of disability.

When  an   employee has been continuously absent from and  unable  to  perform  the   duties  of  his position for one year or more by reason of a disability,   other than a disability resulting from occupational injury or disease as   defined in the workmen's compensation law, his employment status may  be   terminated  and  his  position may be filled by a permanent appointment.   Such employee may,  within  one  year  after  the  termination  of  such   disability,   make  application  to  the  civil  service  department  or   municipal commission having jurisdiction over the position last held  by   such  employee  for  a  medical examination to be conducted by a medical   officer selected for that purpose by such department or commission.

If no appropriate vacancy shall exist to which such reinstatement may be   made, or if the work load does not warrant the filling of such  vacancy,   the  name  of  such  person  shall be placed on a preferred list for his   former position in his former department or  agency,  and  he  shall  be   eligible  for reinstatement in his former department or agency from such   preferred list for a period of four years. In the event that such person   is reinstated to a position in a grade lower than  that  of  his  former   position,  his  name  shall be placed on the preferred eligible list for   his former position or any similar position in his former department  or   agency.  This  section  shall  not  be deemed to modify or supersede any   other provisions of law  applicable  to  the  re-employment  of  persons   retired from the public service on account of disability.
