Subdivision 1-a of section 131 of the Civil Service Law permits the Director of the Budget to promulgate regulations authorizing the appointment of certain persons with training or experience which substantially exceeds the minimum required for appointment at a salary above the minimum of the grade of the title to which they are appointed.

It is the policy of the State generally that appointments should be made at the established salary grade minimums, but in order to facilitate the recruitment of highly qualified people for State service, certain persons outside State service with outstanding training or experience may be appointed above the established salary grade minimums. It is also the policy of the State that appointments under this Part shall be restricted to original permanent appointments to State service. Compensation of certain incumbent State employees with equivalent qualifications of training or experience shall be increased as provided under section 139.5 of this Part.
