In plain language

A reassignment moves you inside your organizational unit and inside your title: a new job function, a different shift, a different location or a different supervisor. Nothing about the title changes, which is why the rule hands the decision entirely to the discretion of the head of the organizational unit. The one handle on it is good faith. Challenging a reassignment as disguised discipline runs under the appeals section for this subchapter, where the burden of proof is on the employee.

Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of N.J.A.C. 4A:4-7.2. It is a description of the rule, not the rule itself, and not legal advice.
