N.J.S.A. 11A:6-19.2 Cap on compensation for unused sick leave under Title 11A
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, a political subdivision of the State, or an agency, authority or instrumentality thereof,…
In plain language
The same $15,000 cap as the preceding section, in the same words, and the difference between them is WHO IS COVERED rather than what is capped. This one applies only to officers and employees who commenced service with the political subdivision, or its agency, authority or instrumentality, on or after 21 May 2010. Where 11A:6-19.1 reaches a narrow defined class of elected and politically appointed officers, this one reaches everyone hired since that date. It does not affect the terms of a collective negotiations agreement with a relevant provision in force on that date, so a pre-2010 contract survives it.
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. 2010, c. 3, effective May 21, 2010. 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changes only when the Legislature amends it, so a section untouched since its last amendment is settled rather than out of date.
Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, a political subdivision of the State, or an agency, authority or instrumentality thereof, that has adopted the provisions of Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes, shall not pay supplemental compensation to any officer or employee for accumulated unused sick leave in an amount in excess of $15,000. Supplemental compensation shall be payable only at the time of retirement from a State-administered or locally-administered retirement system based on the leave credited on the date of retirement. This provision shall apply only to officers and employees who commence service with the political subdivision of the State, or the agency, authority or instrumentality thereof, on or after the effective date [May 21, 2010] of P.L.2010, c.3. This section shall not be construed to affect the terms in any collective negotiations agreement with a relevant provision in force on that effective date.
