N.J.S.A. 11A:6-15 Eligibility for promotions during leave of absence
A leave of absence shall not disqualify an applicant for a promotional examination.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means

In plain language
Thirteen words removing a trap. Being on a leave of absence does not disqualify an applicant from a promotional examination. Someone on military leave, union leave, elected office leave or medical leave stays eligible to sit for promotion while away. Without it, every form of leave this chapter grants would have carried a hidden cost, and the longer leaves would have carried the largest one.
