N.J.S.A. 11A:6-13 Appointment by governor; leave of absence without pay
Any employee in the career or senior executive service who is appointed to any position pursuant to P.L. 1947, c. 14 (C. 52:14-16.2) shall be entitled…
In plain language
Taking a gubernatorial appointment does not cost you your career service title. An employee in the career or senior executive service appointed to a position under P.L. 1947, c. 14 gets an unpaid leave of absence from their permanent title for the length of the appointment, and the section goes on to deal with what happens when it expires. Without this, accepting an appointment would mean resigning, and the pool of people willing to accept one would be much smaller.
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. 1986, c. 112. Never amended since.
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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.

Upon the expiration of the leave, the employee shall have the right to return to the former title and receive all of the rights, privileges and benefits of that title as if the employee had remained in that title.
