This manual is also available in PDF

The State Personnel Management Manual is the official medium of the State Department of Civil Service for issuing personnel management policy and procedural statements. This Manual will include issuances of material covering only those programs for which the Department of Civil Service is responsible. It will not cover any personnel management program areas which are currently the responsibility of other State agencies.

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.
