In plain language

When one Title 11A employer absorbs the functions of another, the employees can come across with them. Where functions of a department, agency or unit of a political subdivision operating under Title 11A are transferred, consolidated, unified, absorbed or combined with those of the State or another Title 11A subdivision, Commission staff approve the transfer of some or all affected employees on request of both appointing authorities. Status is not disturbed: anyone holding permanent or probationary status in a career service title continues to hold it in the receiving unit, which is one of the two situations in which a working test period survives a move. Seniority and leave entitlements are then calculated as if the entire period of service had been served in the receiving unit. If the consolidation makes positions unnecessary and they are abolished, the affected employees get the full set of layoff and special reemployment rights.

Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of N.J.A.C. 4A:4-7.11. It is a description of the rule, not the rule itself, and not legal advice.

(a) When any of the functions of a department, agency, or unit of a political subdivision operating under Title 11A, New Jersey Statutes, are transferred, consolidated, unified, absorbed, or combined with those of the State or of a separate political subdivision operating under Title 11A, New Jersey Statutes, Civil Service Commission staff, upon request of both appointing authorities, shall approve the transfer of some or all affected employees to the receiving unit. #

(b) Any employee so transferred who holds permanent or probationary status in a title in the career service shall continue to hold such status in the receiving unit. #

(c) Seniority calculations and leave entitlements for transferred permanent or probationary employees shall be calculated as if the entire period of service was in the receiving unit. #

(d) If positions are abolished because they are made no longer necessary by the consolidation of functions, affected employees shall be accorded all layoff and special reemployment rights in N.J.A.C. 4A:8. #
