S 2702 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires annual salaries of certain county officers and employees be fixed by ordinance; ordinance not required for compensation excluded from pensionable salary.

This bill requires county boards to set annual salaries for specific county officers (like county executives, supervisors, managers, commissioners, and department heads) through formal ordinances. It clarifies that compensation excluded from an officer's or employee's pensionable salary (i.e., not counted toward retirement benefits) does not need to be set via ordinance. The law amends New Jersey's Optional County Charter Law to standardize how these salaries are determined. It directly affects county governing bodies and the listed county employees whose pay is subject to this ordinance requirement. The change streamlines salary-setting procedures without altering pension eligibility rules.
