NJ Public Employment Relations Commission: decisions and contracts
Decisions of the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) since fiscal year 2000 and the public sector contracts filed with it, joined to employer pages. PERC is not the Civil Service Commission.
The New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) decides disputes about collective negotiations between New Jersey's public employers and the unions that represent their employees: whether a subject can be negotiated, unfair practice charges, which union represents whom, and appeals of interest arbitration awards. It also keeps every collective negotiations agreement a public employer files with it. PERC is a separate state agency from the Civil Service Commission. It administers the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act, which governs collective negotiations in public employment; the Civil Service Commission administers Title 11A, which governs hiring, titles and discipline.
This record holds 2,067 PERC decisions issued from July 30, 1999 to October 22, 2026, and 25,160 contract filings from 1,561 employers.

About this record
Sources. The decisions and the contract filings come from the two public databases PERC keeps at perc.state.nj.us. Decisions are carried from fiscal year 2000 on. NJ Civil Service Navigator is an independent publication, not affiliated with or endorsed by PERC, the Civil Service Commission or the State of New Jersey.
Not the Civil Service Commission. PERC is a separate state agency from the Civil Service Commission. It administers the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act, which governs collective negotiations in public employment; the Civil Service Commission administers Title 11A, which governs hiring, titles and discipline.
A filed contract is a document, not current terms. Each filing is the agreement as the parties filed it with PERC. A later agreement, a memorandum of agreement or an arbitration award may have changed its terms, and this site does not say which terms are in force.
What we add. Each filing and decision is joined to the employer pages on this site where the employer's name matches exactly; an employer we cannot match with certainty is left unlinked. Decisions are linked to the civil service rules and Commission decisions they cite. The kind of decision is our label. Nothing here is legal advice. To report an error, use the contact form.
