0000 Introduction
0020 Purpose of the Manual
.1 BACKGROUND
The primary purpose of the Manual is to enhance the
overall quality and effectiveness of New York State public personnel
management through a promotion of a flexible application of personnel
policy, consistent with merit system requirements. This should, in
turn:
- strengthen the management of agency human resources by providing
personnel professionals with a ready source of current information
regarding inter-pretation of the Civil Service Law, rules and
regulations, policies, and procedures;
- facilitate the training of newly appointed personnel administrators
and personnel officers; and,
- facilitate the decentralization to the agencies of those elements
of State personnel management which should, most appropriately,
be handled by the individual agencies.
