Lisa Colangelo of the New York Daily News recently wrote about the issue of provisional workers in New York City. Over two years ago, the city was ordered to reduce the number of provisional employees in the workforce. The Department of Citywide Administrative Services has developed a five-year plan to reorganize civil service titles and give additional exams. Provisional employees are hired when the city needs to fill a position but lacks a list of candidates who have passed the exam for that position. These employees should then be subjected to a test for their job within nine months of being hired but this does not always happen. Sometimes when individuals take the test, they are not able to pass and lose their provisional job. The city is working on improving this process and holding the exams in a more timely fashion.

According to Lisa Colangelo from the Daily News, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services is attempting to ease the process of taking civil service exams. Besides the early Saturday morning written exams DCAS is now operating a Computerizes Testing Center on LaFayette St, in Manhattan where candidates are able to walk in and take tests several times a week. This is an attempt to get the city a greater selection of applicants who can apply on their time. During July five tests are being offered: police officer, correction officer, traffic enforcement agent, environmental police officer, and eligibility specialist.
After successfully passing the test a list is created by the city that is valid for four years. These tests are being offered in anticipation that the city will have openings in the near future. The best way to find out more about exams is the DCAS website (www.nyc.gov/dcas). There is information on locations and required materials for upcoming tests, promotional tests, and past exams. You are able to apply and pay application fees online and it is also recommended that applicants call 311 or (212) 669-1357 to check schedules.
