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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
