HR Handbook

Welcome to the Human Resources Handbook! The HR Handbook serves as a companion to the Civil Service Rules offering instruction on the practical implementation of the Rules.  Explanations, policy and training requirements, interpretations and other useful information have been compiled here for use by agency Human Resources professionals.  Topical information provided herein is designed to address usual personnel cases and is not intended to address specific agency exceptions or guidance needed for unusual or rare circumstances.  Agency HR staff members should contact the Civil Service Assistance Coordinator for their agency if more specific information is needed.

Most of the topics from the previous State Personnel Manual have been converted for use in this document.  Agencies are encouraged to use the web-form of the Handbook since it will be updated regularly.  HR Handbook Update Notices will be issued via the HR Handbook electronic notification service for each modification made to the material in the Handbook.  Click on the link below to access the archived Update Notices.
