DEPUTY SURROGATE
The surrogate is elected; the deputy is appointed and does much of the office's daily work — taking probate applications, issuing letters testamentary and of administration, and guiding people through paperwork at a point in their lives when they are rarely at their best.
Appointment by an elected officer is what places the position outside the classified service. Clerical and administrative staff in the same office are classified and do have published specifications.

Deputy Surrogate is a local service title. It is filled by the counties, municipalities, authorities and other employers that have adopted civil service under Title 11A, not by State departments. Those employers set pay by ordinance or contract rather than from a State salary schedule, which is why most local titles carry no salary range here.
