2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 3 - Jurisdictional Classification › Title B - Classified Service › 41 - Exempt Class.

§ 41. Exempt class. 1. The following offices and positions shall be in
the exempt class:

state commission or other state officer authorized by law to  appoint  a
secretary;
(b)  the deputies of principal executive officers authorized by law to
act generally for and in place of their principals;
(c) one secretary of each municipal board or commission authorized  by
law to appoint a secretary;
(d)  one  clerk  and  one  deputy  clerk if authorized by law, of each
court, and one clerk of each elective judicial  officer,  and  also  one
deputy clerk, if authorized by law, of any justice of the supreme court;
(e)  all  other  subordinate  offices  or positions for the filling of
which competitive or non-competitive examination may be found to be  not
practicable. Not more than one appointment shall be made to or under the
title  of  any office or position placed in the exempt class pursuant to
the  provisions  of  this  paragraph,  unless  a  different  number   is
specifically prescribed in the rules.

unless it is specifically named in such class in  the  rules.  Upon  the
occurrence  of  a vacancy in any position in the exempt class, the state
or municipal civil service commission having  jurisdiction  shall  study
and  evaluate such position and, within four months after the occurrence
of  such  vacancy,  shall  determine  whether  such  position,  as  then
constituted,  is  properly classified in the exempt class.  Pending such
determination, said position shall not be filled, except on a  temporary
basis.

  include all positions that are not in the  exempt  class  or  the  labor
  class and for which it is found by the commission having jurisdiction to
  be  not  practicable to ascertain the merit and fitness of applicants by
  competitive   examination.      Appointments   to   positions   in   the
  non-competitive   class   shall   be  made  after  such  non-competitive
  examination as is prescribed by the state civil  service  department  or
  municipal  commission  having jurisdiction.  No position shall be deemed
  to be in the non-competitive class unless it is  specifically  named  in
  such  class in the rules. Not more than one appointment shall be made to
  or  under  the  title  of  any  office  or  position   placed   in   the
  non-competitive class pursuant to the provisions of this section, unless
  a  different  or  an  unlimited number is specifically prescribed in the
  rules.
2. With respect to civil divisions of  the  state  whose  populations,
  according  to  the  latest  federal  decennial  census or latest federal
  special population census, are less than five thousand and, with respect
  to those civil divisions whose populations are not determined as such by
  the federal bureau of the census, whose  populations  are  estimated  by
  their  respective  governing  bodies  to be less than five thousand, the
  state commission shall,  on  or  before  July  first,  nineteen  hundred
  sixty-one,  promulgate  standards  for  determining  the practicality of
  examination, which it may from time to time thereafter amend, and  shall
  also  provide information and advice to municipal commissions, to enable
  such commissions  to  utilize  the  provisions  of  this  section,  when
  appropriate,  in  order to enable such civil subdivisions to recruit and
  retain in their employ competent and qualified persons.
2-a. The state or municipal civil service  commission  by  appropriate
  amendments   to  its  rules  shall  designate  among  positions  in  the
  non-competitive class in its  jurisdiction  those  positions  which  are
  confidential or require the performance of functions influencing policy.

  employment in the labor class to qualify in such examinations  of  their
  fitness for employment as may be deemed practicable.
2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 3 - Jurisdictional Classification › Title B - Classified Service › 44 - Competitive Class.

  positions for which it is practicable to determine the merit and fitness
  of  applicants  by  competitive  examination,  and  shall  include   all
  positions  now  existing  or  hereafter  created, of whatever functions,
  designations or compensation, in each and every branch of the classified

2023 New York Laws › CVS - Civil Service › Article 3 - Jurisdictional Classification › Title B - Classified Service › 45 - Status of Employees Upon Acquisition of Private Institution or Enterprise by Government.

§ 45. Status  of  employees upon acquisition of private institution or
  enterprise by government. 1. Whenever the state or any civil division or
  public agency shall acquire a private institution or enterprise, for the
  purpose of operating it as a public function, such  civil  division,  or
  public  agency,  as  the case may be, may continue the employment of all
  officers or employees thereof deemed necessary, who shall have  been  in
  the  employ  of  such private institution or enterprise for at least one
  year prior to such acquisition. The positions so held by such  employees
  shall  be  in  the  non-competitive class, pending the classification or
  reclassification of such positions as  hereinafter  directed,  and  such
  employees  shall  continue  to  be  employed in similar or corresponding
  positions and shall have the seniority theretofore held by them as among
  themselves. The state civil service department or  municipal  commission
  having  jurisdiction, however, after notice to any such employee, of the
  reasons therefor, and after  according  such  employee  a  hearing,  may
  exclude  him  or her from further employment if found by such department
  or  municipal  commission  not  to  be  a  person  of  good   character.
  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  this  section,  no person shall be
  continued in employment in a  position  classified  in  the  competitive
  class pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision unless he or she is
  a  citizen  or a noncitizen lawfully admitted for permanent residence in
  the United States.
2. Not later than one year  after  the  acquisition  of  such  private
  institution   or  enterprise,  the  state  or  municipal  civil  service
  commission having jurisdiction shall determine for  which  positions  or
  class  of  positions  competitive examinations are practicable and shall
  adopt rules classifying and reclassifying  the  various  positions.  The
  then  incumbents  of such positions who are employed therein at the time
  of the acquisition of the private institution or enterprise and who were
  so employed for at least  one  year  prior  to  such  acquisition  shall
  continue  to  hold their positions without further examination and shall
  have all the rights and privileges of the jurisdictional class to  which
  such  positions  may  be  allocated;  provided,  however that after such
  acquisition all new positions thereafter created and vacancies occurring
  in positions already established shall be filled in accordance with  the
  provisions of this chapter and the rules adopted thereunder.
