NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE
State Personnel Management Manual
Advisory Memorandum # 89-02

1400 Eligible Lists
January 27, 1989

Policy Bulletin No. 82-01 Policy Bulletin No--88-92 issued on October 15,1982 announced new policies concerning the interdepartmental promotion list rights of employees who accept permanent transfer, appointment or reinstatement to a different agency.

Part of that policy was to announce the process by which employees could request to have their names changed to the appropriate department list by using form S211.1 (Request to change Individual Status on Interdepartmental Promotion Eligible Lists). This is a reminder to agencies to have copies of this form available, and to inform employees that they can request this change.

On page two of this memo Below is a table which summarizes the policies which were announced in 1982. The table has been revised to include those cases of employees changing promotion units within an agency, but the policies have not changed. The table is useful as a quick reference, however, when applying these policies, the following points should be kept in mind:

  • After the examination" means after the written test, after the filing period closes for a T&E, or after the first date of oral testing, depending on which is the first part of the examination.
  • Upon completion of probation in the new agency, (when the employee has changed appointing authorities) the employee no longer has departmental promotion list rights in the former agency.
  • An employee who has resigned from his/her former position in the former agency no longer has departmental promotion rights in the former agency.
  • Employees' names continue on the "general portion" of the list regardless of on which departmental list, if any, their names may appear.
  • Employees who return to a former agency may request to have their names restored to any lists from which their names had been removed.
  • Employees' names may not appear on the departmental lists for more than one agency unless the transfer was involuntary (pursuant to Rule 5.8, or §70.2).
  • For a supply of the form S211.1, please write to the Mail and Supply Unit, New York State Department of Civil Service, Alfred E. Smith State Office Building, Albany, NY 12239.

Therefore, if the employee is appointed to a different agency from the general portion of an IDP list, their name is removed from their former agency's departmental portion of that list. If they fail probation/ or request to return during their probationary period they must be restored.]
