Section 4A:10-2.2 - Failure to appoint from complete certification

1. When an appointing authority has notified the Chairperson or designee, either by the date of the examination or within 30 days after the initial date of the examination announcement, whichever date is earlier, that it has vacated the position and terminated the provisional appointee, the Chairperson or designee may cancel the examination, permit the appointing authority not to make a permanent appointment, or take other appropriate action.

2. Following the period set forth in (a)1 above, an appointing authority may, for valid reasons such as fiscal constraints, petition the Commission for permission not to make a permanent appointment. The Commission may grant such petition, but may order the appointing authority to reimburse the Commission for the costs of the selection process, provided, however, that when the jurisdiction in which the appointing authority is situated has agreed to the intergovernmental transfer pursuant to N.J.A.C. 4A:4-7.1A of an employee into a title for which an open competitive or promotional list exists, the appointing authority may petition the Commission for a waiver of the costs of the selection process. The Commission shall notify the appointing authority of the amount of the reimbursement and provide an opportunity to respond to the assessment within 20 days of such notice.
