California State Civil Service On-Line Promotional Examination System

Welcome to the State of California Civil Service On-Line Internet PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATION System. We plan to add other examinations to this system in the future for the convenience of our customers.

The State Personnel Board also maintains a information on its Web site about the California State Civil Service system, including examinations in progress, transfer opportunities for State employees, job descriptions and pay scales.

The following rules apply to person wishing to compete in a promotional exam:

SEC. 234. PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATION ELIGIBILITY. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law or these regulations, or order of the executive officer, a current employee in an agency or subdivision designated as appropriate by the executive officer may compete in the promotional examination if the employee meets one of the following criteria: (1) Has a permanent appointment. (2) Has had a permanent appointment with no subsequent break in service by resignation, non-disability retirement or removal for cause. (3) Is on temporary assignment or loan under Section 426 and has permanent civil service status in another agency. (b) Persons employed by the legislature who meet the provisions of Government Code Section 18990 may also compete in promotional examinations. (c) Only persons with current permanent civil service status or persons who meet the provisions of Government Code Section 18990 may compete in career executive assignment examinations. (d) Those individuals who resign while competing in a promotional examination and who reenter state service within six months with a permanent appointment may, with concurrence of the appointing power, resume competition in the examination in progress when it is possible to do so without requiring the rescheduling of an already completed part of the examination.

SEC. 235. ELIGIBILITY OF EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE MOVED TO ANOTHER AGENCY. An employee who has moved from one agency or subdivision to another agency or subdivision without a break in service may participate, if otherwise eligible, in the promotional examination for the agency or subdivision from which that employee moved while employed (a) under probationary status, limited-term appointment, or temporary authorization until that employee first attains permanent status in the new agency or subdivision of (b) under an exempt appointment until that employee no longer has a right to return to civil service status under Government Code Section 19141 or (c) under a training assignment conforming to the provisions of Government Code Section 19050.8 or (d) under a Career Executive Assignment. If a promotional examination is being held for an agency or subdivision to establish an employment list for an administrative, professional or technical class, an employee of another agency or subdivision who is otherwise eligible may participate if that employee had promotional eligibility in the designated agency or subdivision at any time within three years of the date of the examination and has had no subsequent break in state service by resignation, nondisability retirement or removal for cause. The executive officer in keeping with the needs of the service may permit other employees who are otherwise eligible under these regulations to participate in a promotional examination being held for an agency or subdivision in which the employees previously had permanent or probationary status.

SEC. 235.2. ELIGIBILITY - OTHER PERSONS. A person who is on a leave of absence or whose name appears on a reemployment list may participate in a promotional examination if immediately preceding leave of absence or layoff that person had appropriate civil service status for the examination as required by these regulations.
