MB salary schedule

The FY 2027 NJ MB salary schedule for unrepresented state employees: ranges 29–32, 9 steps, $72,201 to $117,027. Every step, free and exportable.

Management in Non-State Police, Law Enforcement Titles (MB) is the New Jersey civil service salary schedule covering unrepresented state employees. It runs from range 29 to range 32, 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.

Management in law enforcement titles outside the State Police, such as police chiefs at state facilities and in the parks system. It shares the 2007 freeze with the other managerial tables.

Skips range 31 — no published rate there.

Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $72,201 at the bottom of the lowest range to $117,027 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 MB29 is a MB title at range 29.
