In plain language

An index, and one worth checking before assuming the general rules apply to your situation. Sixteen kinds of appeal have their own procedure elsewhere in Title 4A: awards in State service, classification, major discipline, minor discipline, discrimination in State service, removal from an employment list for medical reasons, removal from an employment list for psychological reasons, examinations, grievances, layoffs, overtime in State service, Performance Assessment Review in State service, reprisals, resignations, salary on job reevaluation in State service, and supplemental compensation on retirement in State service. Six of those sit in State service only, which the entries say on their face. The specific procedure can differ from the default in ways that matter: minor discipline, for one, has a burden of proof rule of its own rather than the one at 4A:2-1.4. Anything not on the list is filed under 4A:2-1.1.
