Mission
The Department of Civil Service is charged with providing human resource management services to State and local governments. The Department assists State agencies with personnel recruitment and placement services, administers tests, oversees job classifications, and administers benefits.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $56.5 million ($14.5 million General Fund; $42.0 million Other Funds) for the Department. This is an increase of $1.1 million which primarily reflects increases in General State Charges rates.
In 2013-14, the Department will be merged with the Office of Employee Relations to focus on an enterprise-wide strategic approach to managing the State government workforce. This merger will create a single State Employee Workforce Development Center, combining the currently separate recruitment and training efforts of the two agencies under a single official.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 350 FTEs, an increase of 26 FTEs in Internal Service Funds from the prior year, reflecting the replacement of staff losses in the area of employee benefits management.
