What the Employment Supervisor family covers
Employment Supervisor is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 2 title codes across 2 levels. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Personnel titles administer the system this site documents: they run the exams, maintain the eligible lists, classify positions and handle the layoff and grievance machinery. That gives them an unusual footprint, since every department needs the function and the Civil Service Commission sets the rules for all of them. Training, affirmative action and equal employment titles sit in the same neighborhood. Local jurisdictions that have adopted Title 11A hire their own versions, which is why several of these families carry local as well as state codes.
The ladder, ordered by pay
Ordered by what they actually pay rather than by the number in the title, the Employment Supervisor rungs look like this. Here the numbering happens to agree with the pay order, which is not guaranteed elsewhere in New Jersey's plan.

- Employment Supervisor 1 — $79,844 to $117,228 (a bachelor's degree and 1 year of experience)
The distance from the bottom of Employment Supervisor 1 to the top of Employment Supervisor 2 is $48,875, an increase of about 61% over the entry minimum.
