In plain language

Who has to prove what, settled in three lines. In appeals concerning major disciplinary actions under 4A:2-2, the burden of proof is on the appointing authority, so the employer has to prove the charges rather than the employee having to disprove them. In every other appeal to the Commission the burden is on the appellant, which is to say on the person who filed. Minor discipline is not decided in this section at all. It is sent to 4A:2-3.7(f), where the answer depends on whether the matter is a grievance or a minor disciplinary charge, and where a threshold about issues of general applicability has to be cleared before the burden question arises.

Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of N.J.A.C. 4A:2-1.4. It is a description of the rule, not the rule itself, and not legal advice.

In re Foglio207 N.J. 38, July 19, 2011

A firefighter candidate was passed over while the city appointed three people ranked below him. The Supreme Court did not question the power to appoint a lower-ranked candidate, which the Rule of Three plainly allows. What it would not accept was the explanation: a reason that is generic enough to fit any bypass, and says nothing specific about this candidate, does not satisfy the appointing authority's duty to report why it went past somebody. Foglio won. Two things are worth knowing alongside the case: the word bypass is the courts' shorthand rather than the code's, since Title 4A never uses it, and the report the rule requires goes to the Commission rather than to the candidate who was passed over.
