YE salary schedule

The FY 2027 NJ YE salary schedule for unrepresented state employees: ranges 24–27, 10 steps, $55,439 to $113,840. Every step, free and exportable.

Detective State Investigators (Non-Represented) (YE) is the New Jersey civil service salary schedule covering unrepresented state employees. It runs from range 24 to range 27, and each range is a 10-step ladder from a minimum to a maximum. This schedule is frozen: its rates were last set on July 2, 2022 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 non-represented version of the detective state investigator schedule. It covers the same ranks as the represented table but was last set in 2022, which is a direct illustration of what representation is worth on an otherwise identical job.

Skips ranges 25, 26 — no published rate there.

Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $55,439 at the bottom of the lowest range to $113,840 at the top of the highest. Working from step 1 to the top step of the same range is worth about 43.4%, before any across-the-board increase. A title's salary code is this ERG prefix followed by its range number, so YE24 is a YE title at range 24.

One row per change in the published rates, not per year. The table is nominal, in the dollars of each year; the real figures above it are in 2025 dollars using CUUR0000SA0 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Earlier years come from the Commission's schedule lookup alone; only FY 2027 is also checked against the printed compendium.
