i. All employees in that job title are granted sick leave days in the same number and manner as set forth for State career service employees in 4A:6-1.3;

ii. Sick leave for all employees in that job title is used, reported, and subject to verification in the same manner required for State career service employees in 4A:6-1.4 and 1.5.

3.

1. Employees removed for cause after an opportunity for a hearing, who retire in lieu of removal, or who retire under circumstances which would warrant removal, shall not be eligible for SCOR. However, the Chairperson or designee may allow SCOR in such cases where removal was based on a medical disability or where the Commission finds sufficient mitigating circumstances to warrant supplemental compensation.

2. Employees who retire as a result of accidental or ordinary disability, and who meet all other applicable rules, shall be eligible for SCOR.

3. Employees of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey who are members of the Newark Employees' Retirement System, and who meet all other applicable rules, shall be eligible for SCOR.

5. Faculty members of the State Colleges; Rutgers, the State University; the New Jersey Institute of Technology; and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey who have served in an administrative capacity may be eligible for SCOR based on the time served in that administrative capacity only. Such employees, if deemed eligible, shall be entitled to payment based on sick leave and salary earned while serving in an administrative title.
