DEPUTY MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT HEAD

Departments in a New Jersey municipality are headed by an appointee of the mayor or the governing body, depending on the charter, and the deputy stands in when that person cannot act. What the department does — public works, revenue, public safety — decides what the deputy actually spends the day on.

Statute places department heads and their deputies in the unclassified service, so the appointment is made locally and no eligible list exists.

Where this title is used

Deputy Municipal Department Head 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.
