Summary
In Higdon, the Civil Service Commission overruled the city's Department of Personnel and adopted the petitioner's interpretation of Civil Service Law § 80 (8) as conferring seniority for the purpose of determining eligibility for promotion. Nevertheless, the Commission rejected the petititoner's claim, on the ground that the seniority for constructive service as a firefighter could not be used to enhance petitioner's standing on the eligible list for captain because seniority credits for that post were only given for experience as a lieutenant.
