Department of Civil Service
The Enacted Budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget’s State Operations appropriations (analysis as of March 31, 2009)
The Executive Budget recommends (revised January 21, 2009):
A SFY 2009-10 workforce of 544, a decrease of 16 FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for SFY 2007-08. The adjusted SFY 2008-09 FTEs reflect the reduction of 24 FTEs from the enacted SFY 2008-09 fill level. The Department of Civil Service workforce, with these 40 FTE reductions, has been reduced by 200 FTEs since SFY 1994-95. Their ability to enforce the merit system has been severely constrained by this overall reduction in their workforce. The following chart identifies adjustments in current fiscal years FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2008-9 FTEs by program (if the FTE’s are the same the program is not listed):

The Department of Civil Service employed an estimated 50 employees under consultant contracts in SFY 2009-10 at an estimated cost of $3.9 million or an average cost of $78,622 per consultant contract employee. It is estimated that the number of employees employed under consultant contracts will be 36 in SFY 2009-10, at an estimated cost of $3.1 million, or $86,751 per consultant employee.
Continuing a contract to develop an Integrated Testing System (ITS) that is supposed to enhance the quality and timeliness of test development, administration and scoring.
Completing the implementation of the new Eligible List Management System which will automate what is now largely a paper-driven process and should result in faster, more up-to-date eligible list information to agencies for their use in filling positions.
Completing the implementation of MyNYSHIP which allows employees to view information on their benefits, submit address change requests, order Empire Plan ID cards via the Internet, submit option transfer requests and process new enrollment requests. In addition, the Department continues to develop the “Manage Dependant Information” component, which will allow such activities as adding, deleting or editing dependant information.
