Removes exception to civil service working test period for political subdivision employees.
This bill changes the probation period for local government workers in New Jersey. Currently, employees of cities, towns, and counties (political subdivisions) have a 3-month working test period, while most other civil service employees have a 4-month standard. The bill removes this exception, requiring all political subdivision employees to serve the standard 4-month working test period (extendable to 6 months at the commission's discretion). This applies to all such employees hired under civil service rules.
