This bill amends N.J.S.11A:4-15 to eliminate the shorter working test period for political subdivision employees, which was previously set at three months. Under the new provisions, the working test period for these employees will align with the standard duration for most civil service employees, establishing a four-month period that may be extended to six months at the discretion of the Civil Service Commission.

The bill aims to standardize the working test period across various employee categories, ensuring that all civil service employees, including those in political subdivisions, are subject to the same evaluation timeframe. This change is intended to enhance the assessment process for new hires and maintain consistency within the civil service framework. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
