Tomasz Petrykiewicz, CSC Docket No. 2025-2651

Appellant's argumentTomasz Petrykiewicz requests the cancellation of the promotional examination for Conferee 2 Taxation (PS2997U), Department of the Treasury.

BackgroundThe subject examination was announced with a closing date of August 21, 2023 and open to employees who were currently serving in the title of Conferee 1 Taxation and possessed one year of continuous permanent service. Seventeen employees were admitted to the examination, which was administered on August 26, 2025. The resulting eligible list promulgated on September 25, 2025 with 16 eligibles and expires on September 24, 2027. Three certifications have issued from the list, and seven individuals have been appointed. There are eight active eligibles remaining on the list.

Agency records indicate that the appellant received a permanent appointment to the title of Conferee 1 Taxation, effective March 1, 2024.

Appellant's argumentOn appeal to the Civil Service Commission (Commission), the appellant requests that the subject examination be cancelled on the basis that the test was not developed and scheduled within one year of the closing date and that a new announcement be made to include individuals who have attained permanent status as of March 1, 2024.

CONCLUSION

RuleN.J.A.C. 4A:4-2.1(d) provides that a promotional examination may be reannounced if, within one year of the closing date, the examination has not been developed and scheduled.

AnalysisUpon review, the Commission declines the appellant’s request. N.J.A.C. 4A:4- 2.1(d) does not require reannouncement as it clearly provides that the examination may be reannounced, and the appellant has no vested right to appointment. Moreover, multiple eligibles have already been appointed. Accordingly, there is no basis for the requested relief.

ORDER

Therefore, it is ordered that this request be denied.

ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
