AMENDMENTS TO STATE CIVIL SERVICE RULES Rule XI, Subdivision I

Resolved, That, subject to the approval of the Governor, the provision of civil service Rule XI, subdivision 1, to the effect that each competitor whose standing on each obligatory subject in any examination is 60 or over shall be eligible for appointment to the position for which he was examined, be and hereby is suspended in so far as it relates to the position of Chief Examiner in the office of the State Civil Service Commission, which examination was held December 13, 1919, and a minimum passing mark of 75 upon the obligatory subjects of Education and Experience, and Discussion of Practical Problems, be substituted therefor.

(Adopted January 7, 1920. Approved by the Governor January 19, 1920.)

Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York has granted an increase in salary to all meritorious employees in the service of the counties included in Greater New York, and to the employees in the office of the Transit Construction Commissioner, to be determined by the department heads, with the following limitations:

Up to and including $1,200 per annum, 20 per cent, with a minimum of $100 where any increase is given, with a maximum of $200.

Between $1,201 and $1,900 per annum, 15 per cent where any increase is given, with a maximum of $200.

Between $1,901 and $2,600 per annum, 10 per cent where any increase is given, with a maximum of $250; and

Whereas, Such advance in compensation is substantially automatic and applies to all employees above referred to; and

Whereas, This increase in compensation in many cases involves a change of grade, thus under existing procedure making promotion examinations necessary, which examinations would probably in some instances either deprive some of the employees of the increase contemplated, or advance the compensation of others more than the percentage rate prescribed; therefore be it

Resolved, That, subject to the approval of the Governor, all provisions of the State Civil Service Rules, in so far as they require promotion examination in the case of any person employed in the service of the counties included in Greater New York, or in the Department of the Transit Construction Commissioner, who has been granted an increase in compensation, effective January 1, 1920, as above set forth, be and hereby are suspended, and the State Civil Service Commission be and hereby is authorized to accept, without examination where such examination would seem to be required, notice of increase in compensation on the basis indicated; and the said State Civil Service Commission be and hereby is authorized to certify the salary accounts of such persons when presented.

(Adopted January 7, 1920. Approved by the Governor January 20, 1920.)
