M salary schedule

The FY 2027 NJ M salary schedule for unrepresented state employees: ranges 24–44, 9 steps, $48,646 to $180,723. Every step, free and exportable.

Managerial (M) is the New Jersey civil service salary schedule covering unrepresented state employees. It runs from range 24 to range 44, 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 7, 2007 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 managerial schedule. Its rates were last set in 2007 and have not moved since, so the published figures are far below what the equivalent range pays on the aligned schedules. That is not a pay cut: managerial titles are generally paid off-schedule, with salaries set individually rather than by stepping up a published ladder. Treat this table as the formal schedule of record rather than a guide to what a manager earns.

Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $48,646 at the bottom of the lowest range to $180,723 at the top of the highest. Working from step 1 to the top step of the same range is worth about 40%, before any across-the-board increase. A title's salary code is this ERG prefix followed by its range number, so M24 is a M title at range 24.
