NJ is the mist of budgetary chaos and it continues to escalate. NJ decided at the last moment to cancel yet another furlough for state employees at the last moment resulting in the inability to list cases for hearing before the NJ Division of Workers' Compensation. Courtrooms were empty on Friday since no cases had been listed.
Originally, the administration called for yet another paid state vacation for employees because of budget shortfalls. Similar economic issues have frozen new hires, limited the use of durable resources and caused the elimination of printed court calendars. The NJ Division of Workers' compensation is funded substantially from the NJ Second Injury Fund as a line item on premium invoices.
In the recently brokered deal, Governor Corzine has negotiated 10 additional furlough days beginning on July 1st. and gather seven paid leave days for use after June 10th, 2010.
