Crediting Provisional Time (S.5494 Jackson / A.7155 Pheffer Amato)
A bill has been signed into law, which requires that any time spent as a provisional employee be counted towards an employee's probationary term upon receiving a permanent appointment in the same title. This law went into effect on September 7, 2023
What was the law before?
Employees can spend years as a provisional employee as they wait for available civil service tests. Once appointed to a permanent role, they can be required to spend up to an additional year on probation.
