GENERAL INFORMATION BULLETIN No. 16-03
TO: Department and Agency Directors, Human Resources and Affirmative Action Officers
FROM: Scott DeFruscio, Director of Staffing Services
SUBJECT: Investigator Title Consolidation
DATE: June 16, 2016
A memorandum from the Director of Classification and Compensation dated May 20, 2016, announced that changes to investigator titles would take effect June 16, 2016. The memorandum is available at, http://www.cs.ny.gov/businesssuite/News-and-Advisories/Classification-and-Compensation-Memos/index.cfm, and it describes the new set of Investigator series that will replace the numerous titles currently in place. The following information has been developed to guide agencies on the hiring and career mobility of employees in these new title series. Throughout this memorandum titles in existence before the title consolidation will be referred to as "Existing Title" and the newly created titles as "New Title."
The result of the changes in the Investigator series on existing titles could present as a title consolidation, a reallocation, or a title change. Therefore, the impact of this change on employee mobility and eligible list usage may differ in each situation.
Eligible Lists Appropriateness Determinations
The Staffing Services Division has reviewed existing investigator eligible lists for appropriateness to the newly established titles in effect on June 16, 2016. Generally, the eligible lists for each "Existing Title" will be appropriate to fill the "New Title." In instances where more than one "Existing Title" has been consolidated into a "New Title," there may be additional lists deemed appropriate to fill the title. See below for a listing of eligible list appropriateness determinations. Where multiple lists have been declared appropriate to fill a "New Title," the eligible lists will be equally certifiable. Agencies may "choose a list" to canvass. However, all lists must be exhausted before provisional appointments will be permitted. When canvassing for the newly established titles, agencies should inform eligibles that, due to the investigator consolidation, they are now being canvassed for the newly established title.
Transfers
All "Existing Title" transfer determinations that were in TTRS prior to the Title Structure Change will be maintained for the "New Title" after the Title Structure Change except for those "New Titles" that are impacted by reallocation. The approved transfer determinations will be reflected in TTRS in the near future.
If an "Existing Title" has been reallocated, TTRS will no longer reflect any past transfer determination that would now result in a greater than two salary grade or one M-grade upgrade. Current impacted employees will continue to have mobility rights based on the "Existing Title" and its past transfer determinations through reinstatement. Agencies should contact their Staffing Services Representative or the Career Mobility Office to discuss specific questions regarding an employee's ability to transfer or be reinstated. The Department has approved the following transfer determinations for entry-level generic titles:
Investigator 1 (G-14) to Investigative Officer 1 (G-16)
Investigative Officer 1 (G-16) to Investigative Specialist 1 (G-18)
To request transfer determinations among other newly established titles, agencies should contact their Staffing Services Representative.
