N.J.S.A. 11A:6-18 Supplemental compensation; deferred retirement

A State employee who elects deferred retirement shall not be eligible for the supplemental compensation provided under this chapter.

Title 11A · Chapter 6. Employee Leaves, Work Hours, and Career Development · Article 1

In plain language

Nineteen words that catch people out. A State employee who elects deferred retirement is not eligible for supplemental compensation. Deferred retirement means leaving State service before retirement age with enough service credit to draw a pension later, and choosing it forfeits the sick leave payout entirely. Anyone weighing an early departure against the value of accumulated sick leave needs this section before they decide, not after.

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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
