New Jersey S980 withholds salary for municipal administrators removed for "good cause" until cleared by court or investigation.
New Jersey S980 amends existing law to withhold salary payments for municipal administrators removed for "good cause" until cleared by a court or investigation. "Good cause" includes accusations of crimes involving moral turpitude or violations of municipal ethics codes. If the administrator is removed immediately, salary payments are withheld until a court finds no crime was committed or an investigation by a competent and disinterested party finds no wrongdoing. This act takes effect immediately.
