N.J.S.A. 11A:6-1.1 Establishment of voluntary furlough program
The commission shall establish a voluntary furlough program for State employees under which days of leave without pay, singly or consecutively, may be… Amended 1 time since 1986.
In plain language
Furlough days, taken singly or in a run, without pay. The Commission establishes the programme for State employees and participation is voluntary. Two protections make it usable: seniority rights continue and health benefits coverage continues, and neither may be adversely affected by taking part. Without those an employee volunteering to save the State money would have been paying for it twice.
Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of this section. The statute itself is below, unabridged.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means
Enacted by L. 1993, c. 297. 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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
