NOTICE FROM THE NJ DIVISION OF PENSIONS DATED 3/18/2020

SUBJECT: Temporary Suspension of In-Person Services

As of close of business Tuesday, March 17, the Office of Client Service is suspending all reception desk services and in-person counseling as a precautionary measure to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.  The closure will remain in effect through at least Wednesday March 31 and we anticipate these in-person services resuming on April 1.  This will provide time to review our current service delivery model and make adjustment, where possible, to provide a safer and healthier environment for members and employees which is consistent with the direction received from our partners at the Department of Health.

Members who have scheduled appointments for interviews will be contacted directly and offered alternative counseling arrangements. 

Walk-in services will be unavailable during the closure.

All in-classroom seminars and training sessions have been suspended.

 Members have a variety of methods to receive services from the Division by accessing our website www.nj.gov/treasury/pensions, contacting our call center, (609) 292-7524, or sending email to: https://www.nj.gov/treasury/assets/contact/pensions/contact-pensions.shtm

Contribution Rate Changes Under Chapter 78, P.L. 2011

Resignation/Retirement/Termination

Full-Time employees are issued an allotment of paid time off (sick and personal days) at the start of employment and/or the start of each school year.  In the case of employment that terminates for any reason on a date other than the last day of the school year, any sick and personal days issued for the current year will be prorated based on the first and last day of employment of that school year.  This will not impact any previous years' accumulated paid time off.

A live paper check will be issued for the last contractual pay for any employment that terminates with the district for any reason. Employees should verify that Personnel has current contact information (email, address & phone). Employee attendance and health benefit contributions will be reviewed to determine any outstanding balance due the district if applicable.
