Common use of ALTERNATE DATES FOR CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS Clause in Contracts

ALTERNATE DATES FOR CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS. A candidate is NEVER allowed to take an examination PRIOR TO a scheduled Saturday examination. This particular part of this policy is not flexible. However, if an applicant wants to take the exam on an alternate date after the scheduled Saturday, he/she must submit their request in writing to the Commissioner of Human Resources for approval. The request must include the reason for the alternate date and confirming documentation. The preferred day for an alternate test date would be Monday immediately following the Saturday test. The starting time will be set at the discretion of the Human Resources Department. There may be times when the preferred alternate test date is not feasible. Tuesday through Friday examination dates can be requested and will be given due consideration by the Commissioner of Human Resources. Examinations beyond Friday, however, pose special security problems. An alternate beyond Friday may be possible with the knowledge and approval of the New York State Department of Civil Service. Special arrangements for the testing of candidates after the week following the normally scheduled test date or those who were on active military duty at the time of the original examination need to be set up through New York State.
