0600 Jurisdictional Classification

0630 Jurisdictional Classification Procedures

.1 Background

.110 Statutory Authority

.111 The Civil Service Commission has the legal authority  and  responsibility  for jurisdictional classification determinations for all positions in the Classified Civil Service  of  the  State. The  Civil  Service  Commission  considers  information provided by  the Department of Civil Service and various State agencies and departments when deciding jurisdictional classification issues.

.112 * The jurisdictional classification of positions in the Classified Service of the State has been deemed a rulemaking activity that must be carried-out in accordance with the State Administrative Procedures Act (SAPA).  For information regarding SAPA, see the Department of State Division of Administrative Rules web site at https://www.dos.ny.gov/info/index.html.

.2 Procedure

.210 Applications

.211 When an agency requests a position classification that involves a jurisdictional classification other than Competitive, the agency must submit an electronic New York State Electronic Personnel System (NYSTEP) transaction to the Division of Classification and Compensation that contains the prerequisite documents prescribed in SPMM Section 0850(B), Subsection .210 ("Long Form" Transaction).      This NYSTEP transaction must also contain a document addressed to the President of the Civil Service Commission which the Civil Service Commission will consider in regard to the jurisdictional classification issue [See SPMM Section 0850(B), Subsection .217].

.212 When an agency's request does not involve position  classification,  the jurisdictional classification request should be sent by letter to the President of the Civil  Service Commission  with  a  copy  to  the  Division  of  Classification  and Compensation and the Division of Staffing Services.

.213 * To effectuate a jurisdictional classification determination, the Civil Service Commission gives public approval for proposed jurisdictional classification determinations followed by a 60-day minimum public comment period. The public is notified of the proposed action through publication in the State Register. After the public comment period concludes, the Civil Service Commission will forward a signed jurisdictional classification resolution for each approved action to the Governor for signature. Resolutions approved by the Governor are filed with the Secretary of State and a notice of adoption is published in the State Register. The Office of Commission Operations edits NYSTEP and the Non-competitive, Exempt and Labor Appendices, to effectuate the actions taken.
