E salary schedule
The FY 2027 NJ E salary schedule for unrepresented state employees: ranges 41–41, 9 steps, $104,203 to $136,147. Every step, free and exportable.
Managerial and Exempt, State Police (E) is the New Jersey civil service salary schedule covering unrepresented state employees. It runs from range 41 to range 41, and each range is a 9-step ladder from a minimum to a maximum. This schedule is frozen: its rates were last set on July 3, 1999 and have not received the annual across-the-board increases since. Titles on a frozen schedule are typically paid off-schedule, so actual pay often differs from the published figures.
The State Police managerial and exempt schedule, and the oldest table in the compendium: its single range was last set in 1999. The State Police major and lieutenant colonel titles it relates to are paid as single fixed rates rather than by stepping through this range.
Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $104,203 at the bottom of the lowest range to $136,147 at the top of the highest. Working from step 1 to the top step of the same range is worth about 30.7%, before any across-the-board increase. A title's salary code is this ERG prefix followed by its range number, so E41 is a E title at range 41.
