The Department of Personnel (DOP) acts in both a service and regulatory capacity. The DOP is headed by the Commissioner who is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the New Jersey State Senate.
The New Jersey Department of Personnel was created in 1986 to replace the Department of Civil Service. Under the provisions of Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes, the Department of Personnel administers a merit system of personnel management:
- For the central agencies of State Government;
- For more than 500 local jurisdictions in New Jersey, including 20 of New Jersey’s 21 counties and nearly 200 of our municipalities and local autonomous agencies; and,
- For career non-academic employees at our State Colleges.
