YH salary schedule

The FY 2027 NJ YH salary schedule for unrepresented state employees: ranges 30–30, 10 steps, $76,041 to $108,515. Every step, free and exportable.

Sergeant State Investigators (DCJ-Homeland Security) (YH) is the New Jersey civil service salary schedule covering unrepresented state employees. It runs from range 30 to range 30, and each range is a 10-step ladder from a minimum to a maximum. This schedule is frozen: its rates were last set on May 25, 2019 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 homeland security sergeant investigator table, last set in 2019 and therefore the furthest behind of the investigator schedules.

Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $76,041 at the bottom of the lowest range to $108,515 at the top of the highest. Working from step 1 to the top step of the same range is worth about 42.7%, before any across-the-board increase. A title's salary code is this ERG prefix followed by its range number, so YH30 is a YH title at range 30.
