What the Agency Services Representative family covers

Agency Services Representative covers 16 title codes arranged into 4 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

These titles are the state's outward face: press and public information, tourism promotion, economic development, business assistance and the customer service counters at the agencies the public actually deals with. Several of them, particularly the government representative series, are unclassified catch-alls used across many departments for very different jobs, so the title tells you less about the work than usual. Salary comparisons across agencies are correspondingly unreliable for that group.

The ladder, ordered by pay

The Agency Services Representative rungs, listed from the best paid down. Here the numbering happens to agree with the pay order, which is not guaranteed elsewhere in New Jersey's plan.

The distance from the bottom of Agency Services Representative 1 to the top of Agency Services Representative 4, Expungement is $53,595, an increase of about 136% over the entry minimum.

What each title does

Reading the definitions side by side is the quickest way to see what changes as you move through the family.

Requirements across the family

None of the specifications in this family names a degree requirement, which places these titles among the New Jersey positions open to applicants without formal higher education. Stated experience runs from 1 year at the lowest rung to 4 at the highest, which is the main thing separating one level from the next.

On how the jobs are filled: 15 are competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional examination and 1 is non-competitive, appointed on proof of the stated qualifications rather than by examination. 2 titles in this family are covered by the compendium's special incentive program, which lets an appointing authority hire a qualified candidate above the bottom step instead of starting them at step one. See the full list of incentive titles.

Who actually employs these titles

584 people appear on the state payroll under 4 of these titles, at 11 agencies. Law and Public Safety alone accounts for about 40% of them.

  • Law and Public Safety — 232 employees
  • Human Services — 162 employees
  • Environmental Protection — 68 employees
  • Unknown — 34 employees
  • Health and Senior Services — 22 employees
  • Community Affairs — 22 employees

Those are the 6 largest of 11 agencies employing this family.

Median actual pay varies across the family, from $41,336 for Agency Services Representative 1 up to $48,697 for Agency Services Representative 2, Expungement. Those are medians of what people are really paid, not schedule minimums and maximums.

State payroll only, deduplicated by payroll title; local employers file separately, so a family with local codes looks smaller here than it is. How this is counted.

How the pay is set

Titles in this family are paid on the A-P-R-S salary schedule. See every step in that schedule. Bargaining is handled by CWA. Union contracts and rights are collected here.

Where these jobs exist

Hiring for this family runs through state service. Departments, commissions and boards fill these titles from eligible lists built by the Civil Service Commission, so the route in is an announcement and a filing deadline rather than a posting you apply to directly.
