S 2207 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State to reimburse counties for portion of holiday pay to county employees performing State services on certain holidays.

This bill requires the State of New Jersey to reimburse counties for holiday pay costs when county employees perform State government services on certain county-specific holidays. Counties must pay employees holiday pay (up to 1.5x base hourly rate) for work on these holidays, then apply to the Division of Local Government Services for reimbursement of the amount exceeding the employee's regular base salary. The State reimburses counties annually for these qualifying expenses, which counties must deduct from their next fiscal year's tax levy base. Counties may also count anticipated reimbursements as budgeted revenue for spending when received. The bill directly affects counties and their employees who perform State services on holidays not recognized as State holidays under existing law.
