New Jersey § 18a:6-14

§ 18a:6-14.

Upon certification of any charge to the commissioner, the board may suspend the person

against whom such charge is made, with or without pay, but, if the determination of

the charge by the arbitrator is not made within 120 calendar days after certification of the charges, excluding

all delays which are granted at the request of such person, then the full salary (except

for said 120 days) of such person shall be paid beginning on the one hundred twenty-first

day until such determination is made. Should the charge be dismissed at any stage of the process , the person shall be reinstated immediately with full pay from the first day of such

suspension. Should the charge be dismissed at any stage of the process and the suspension be continued during an appeal therefrom, then the full pay or

salary of such person shall continue until the determination of the appeal. However, the board of education shall deduct from said full pay or salary any sums

received by such employee or officers by way of pay or salary from any substituted

employment assumed during such period of suspension. Should the charge be sustained on the original hearing or an appeal therefrom, and

should such person appeal from the same, then the suspension may be continued unless

and until such determination is reversed, in which event he shall be reinstated immediately

with full pay as of the time of such suspension.
