Office Assistant 2 Calculations (NY HELPS)

Minimum Qualifications

• A qualified employee of New York State with at least three months of permanent competitive or 55-b/55-c service as an office assistant, clerical, or keyboarding title allocated to Grade 6 or higher.
• Qualifying titles available at: https://www.cs.ny.gov/examannouncements/announcements/38687titles.cfm.

Qualifying Experience for Appointment from the Eligible List:

• After one year of the service described in the Minimum Qualifications.

NY HELPS Minimum Qualifications for Non-Competitive Appointment:

• One year of experience where most work time is spent performing mathematical operations, and/or clerical activities related to mathematical operations.

Note: During the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. It is expected that employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status within one year of permanent appointment, without having to complete an examination. Employees will then be afforded all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.
