As a jobseeker or current Commonwealth civil service employee for state and applicable covered local government/housing authority job opportunities, you have the right to appeal adverse civil service personnel action(s) to the State Civil Service Commission (Commission). Appeals must be filed within twenty (20) calendar days after you receive notice or become aware of the challenged personnel action(s). If a hearing is granted, the parties may present relevant evidence to include documents and witness testimony. After the evidence is presented and the record is closed, the State Civil Service Commissioners will review the full record and issue a decision, which is called an adjudication. Copies of the adjudication are provided to the parties. Please note the Commission does not independently conduct separate investigations into allegations raised in an appeal.
The Civil Service Retirement Act, which became effective on August 1, 1920, established a retirement system for certain Federal employees. It was replaced by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) for Federal employees who first entered covered service on and after January 1, 1987.
The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) is a defined benefit, contributory retirement system. Employees share in the expense of the annuities to which they become entitled. CSRS covered employees contribute 7, 7 1/2 or 8 percent of pay to CSRS and, while they generally pay no Social Security retirement, survivor and disability (OASDI) tax, they must pay the Medicare tax (currently 1.45 percent of pay). The employing agency matches the employee's CSRS contributions.
CSRS employees may increase their earned annuity by contributing up to 10 percent of the basic pay for their creditable service to a voluntary contribution account. Employees may also contribute a portion of pay to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). There is no Government contribution, but the employee contributions are tax-deferred.

Civil Service Documents & Forms
Located in this section of the Document Center are some of the civil service documents and forms most frequently used by municipalities in the conduct of civil service administration and reporting.
Tells the court that legal papers in a civil case - other than a summons - were delivered in person to (personally served on) a party. Lists the papers that were served and tells who they were served on, where and when they were served, and who served them. Also explains how to fill out this form.
Proceedings conducted by the Board are not the same as judicial proceedings before a court, but there are parallels. Courts have a much wider range of authority, both civil and criminal. The Board's authority is narrower and its procedures are less formal, reflecting the fact that many appellants in Civil Service Board appeals participate without legal representation.
In general, Appeals shall not be considered filed until received by the Board Administrator. Copies of appeals to the HR Director and the HR Director's response should be forwarded to the Board Administrator for the record.

First, a Foreign Service officer stood up in the plenary session and complained about the increase in the number of foreign affairs officers (FAO). He even described us as a harbinger of the demise of the Foreign Service. Later in the day, the speaker who led the discussion of the new National Museum of American Diplomacy barely mentioned the Civil Service at all, as though we had no right to be honored there.
In fact, we FAOs are an asset to the Foreign Service, and the State Department as a whole, not a threat. And modern American diplomacy needs a strong Civil Service as much as a strong Foreign Service.
All the same, like many FAOs and FSOs, I led or participated in sensitive negotiations to control technology that could have been converted into weapons against the United States. I was also the first economic officer to visit Albania (before we had an embassy there), served with the Multinational Force of Observers in Egypt and worked on counter-smuggling operations with the European Commission in Brussels. And I helped negotiate the Tampere Convention on the Provision of Telecommunications, a treaty designed to save lives in disasters.
In most of those assignments, I served alongside fellow civil servants and FSOs. However, the Tampere delegation was entirely Civil Service, as were my several missions to Sudan to talk to rebels and relief workers. My career at State was truly wonderful, but so are the careers of many other FAOs, all true foreign policy professionals who take courses at the Foreign Service Institute, in academia and other venues.
Many State bureaus are run by deputy assistant secretaries who are Civil Service employees; some have even been assistant secretaries or ambassadors. Add to that the non-Foreign Service folks from the U.S. Agency for International Development and other federal agencies who are on embassy country teams. Every civil servant should be proud of our brand of diplomacy, a brand which deserves full expression in the new National Museum of American Diplomacy.
While some Foreign Affairs Day speakers did acknowledge the role of the Civil Service in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy, especially in embassy country teams, the State Civil Service contingent was depicted mainly as a side note. Instead, the emphasis was on Foreign Service officers and chiefs of mission as the face of U.S. diplomacy, an image that has been stale for a couple of decades.
Please understand that I am not being critical of the Foreign Service, which continues to be vital to U.S. diplomacy. However, it is long past time for us to treat the Civil Service and Foreign Service as equal partners. Not only does that approach reflect reality, but it will freshen our policy development and the management of programs.

It is based on the examination and investigation of all Civil Service officers and personnel in regards to merit, efficiency and fitness for appointment, employment and promotion.

The Monroe County Civil Service Commission is composed of five members appointed by the County Executive for a six-year term. The Commission oversees the Civil Service function for all branches of local government in Monroe County, except for those covered under the Rochester Municipal Civil Service Commission, such as the City of Rochester and the Rochester Housing Authority.
"Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the State and all of the civil divisions thereof, including cities and villages, shall be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertained, as far as practicable, by examination which, as far as practicable, shall be competitive, ..."
Civil Service Law establishes how appointments, promotions, and discipline of government employees is handled. The Law applies to the state and all of its civil divisions, including cities, towns, villages, school districts, community colleges, special districts and authorities, and counties. The Rules of the Monroe County Civil Service Commission implement the Law and provide procedures for carrying out the principles expressed in the Constitution and Law. The Rules have the force and effect of Law.
Unclassified Service consists of all elected officials, certain department heads, employees of the Monroe County Legislature and Board of Elections, teachers and some supervisory personnel in school systems. In Monroe County, the unclassified service positions comprise only a small percentage of the workforce.
Permanent Appointments are made to vacant classified service positions. A permanent appointment in the competitive class is made from a list of qualified eligible candidates who have passed an appropriate Civil Service examination. All permanent appointments are subject to successful completion of a probationary period. A permanent appointment cannot be terminated, interrupted or discontinued except in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations governing the classified service, or an applicable labor contract.
