Section 17:2-2.2 - Multiple employment

(a) A multiple enrollee is a member who is employed by more than one PERS participating employer at the same time; each of the member's PERS-participating employers shall report to the PERS about that member's pension account. Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 43:15A-25.2, multiple enrollments are not permitted for any member enrolled in the System after May 21, 2010, or for any member who enrolled in the System on or before May 21, 2010, who had a pension reporting period without pay (that is, a break in service) after May 21, 2010.

(b) For PERS enrollments that occurred on or before May 21, 2010, an employee employed in two or more positions that met the eligibility requirements for enrollment in the PERS, as stated in N.J.A.C. 17:2-2.1, was required to enroll in the PERS through each of the positions. If a break in service or termination of employment occurs in either position after May 21, 2010, that multiple membership is no longer permitted.

(c) Prior to July 1, 2007, an elected official was also required to enroll on the basis of such office, if the elected official was already enrolled on the basis of other public employment. If the elected official was employed in the elected position first and enrollment was optional, the enrollment date for the optional position is the effective date of enrollment for the position that required the elected official to establish membership in the PERS. If the individual had already established membership in the PERS, the effective date of enrollment of the optional employment is the date of hire.
