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

In plain language
Accumulated sick leave turns into money at retirement, and this is the entitlement. State employees in the career service, plus those in the senior executive and unclassified services who were granted sick leave on terms similar to career employees, receive a lump sum on retiring from a State-administered retirement system. What that lump sum comes to is computed under 11A:6-19, and it is considerably less than the face value of the leave.
Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of this section. The statute itself is below, unabridged.
State employees in the career service, and those in the senior executive and unclassified services who have been granted sick leave under terms and conditions similar to career service employees, shall be entitled upon retirement from a State-administered retirement system to receive a lump sum payment as supplemental compensation for each full day of accumulated sick leave which is credited on the effective date of retirement.
Enacted by L. 1986, c. 112. Never amended since.
