In plain language

Set this beside the special reemployment list rule and the difference is discretion. Nothing here is fixed at the most beneficial figure. Someone who has left State employment and is appointed from a regular reemployment list receives an anniversary date based on the new appointment date, and may be paid up to the step they held in their prior permanent title, but only at the request of the appointing authority. Up to means the appointing authority can offer less. A person reappointed to a title other than their prior permanent one may be paid up to the step they would have reached had they been appointed to that title on the date they separated. Someone who is still a State employee when appointed from the list is handled by the ordinary lateral, advancement, demotion and downward reevaluation rules instead, unless the appointing authority asks to use the more generous route. Where the title was reevaluated after separation, the salary is set by reconstruction.

Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of N.J.A.C. 4A:3-4.18. It is a description of the rule, not the rule itself, and not legal advice.

(a) A current State employee who is appointed from a regular reemployment list shall have the salary and anniversary date determined in accordance with N.J.A.C. 4A:3-4.8 through 4A:3-4.11, as appropriate. If the employee would receive a greater salary under the provisions of (b) below, the appointing authority may request application of those provisions. #

(b) An individual not currently employed by the State who is appointed from a regular reemployment list shall receive an anniversary date based on the new date of appointment and, at the request of the appointing authority, be paid: #

1. When re-appointed to the prior permanent title, up to the same step in the salary range which the employee was receiving in that title; or, if the employee was serving in an unclassified title or provisionally in another title at the time of the separation, up to the same step in the salary range which the employee would have received had the employee been returned to his or her permanent title on the date of the separation. #

2. When reappointed to a title other than the prior permanent title, up to the same step in the salary range which the employee would have received if the employee had been appointed to the title on the date of the separation. #

(c) When an employee has been reappointed to a title which has been reevaluated since the separation, the employee's salary shall be set up to an amount determined by reconstruction. See N.J.A.C. 4A:3-4.10. #
