N.J.S.A. 11A:3-8 Payroll audits

The commission may audit State payrolls and the payrolls of political subdivisions to determine compliance with this title. The commission may order a… Amended 1 time since 1986.

Title 11A · Chapter 3. Classification, Services and Compensation of Employees

In plain language

The Commission can audit payrolls, State and local, to check whether Title 11A is being followed, and can order compliance and enforce that order. Two sentences, and the reason they matter is that a payroll is where a classification problem becomes visible: someone paid outside the range for their title, or paid in a title they were never properly appointed to.

Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means

Enacted by L. 1986, c. 112, effective September 25, 1986. Last amended by L. 2008, c. 29, effective June 30, 2008.

A New Jersey statute changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
