SECRETARY TO THE COMMISSIONER
New Jersey lists a separate title for the secretary to each senior official — the mayor, the sheriff, a department or division head, a commissioner, a board. The relationship is what the title records, not a different kind of work.
These positions are excluded from the classified service because the holder sees correspondence, personnel matters and decisions before they are public. The exclusion is about access rather than seniority, and it is why the official chooses the holder directly instead of appointing from a list.
What the official title list records
- Class of service: Unclassified
- Work week: No Limit
- Salary code: X98 — A 9x code is a special or flat rate set outside the step schedules, so no range is published.
