New Hire (02)

New Hire refers to the selection of an employee for a new vacant position or an additional job in the jurisdiction.  This employee may or may not already work in the jurisdiction, or in another jurisdiction.  If it is the same jurisdiction, the title must be different and in addition to the current job.

Conversion of Appointment Type (03)

The Conversion of Appointment Type (COAT) transaction is used to change an employee’s appointment type while maintaining the same title.  The employee may be currently serving on a provisional, temporary, or interim basis, but the new appointment must always be made to a permanent appointment type.

Individual Transfer (04)

An individual transfer, in NJAC 4A:4-7.1, is defined as the movement of a permanent employee between organizational units within the same governmental jurisdiction.  In the CAMPS system, the person transferred must have a permanent appointment and must move within jurisdictions defined by the first four characters of the jurisdiction code title.

Organizational Transfer (05)

An organizational transfer occurs when any of the functions of a department are moved to another department within the same governmental jurisdiction, and many employees are moved with that change in function.

Separation (06)

A Separation transaction is used to record an employee’s cessation of employment with the jurisdiction due to a variety of reasons, such as voluntary and involuntary termination, retirement, death, etc.

Demotion (07)

A demotion, in NJAC 4A:1-1.3, is defined as a reduction in title or scale of compensation.  In the CAMPS system, a demotion is defined as moving to a lower title as determined by the decrease in experience or education needed to perform the job as outlined in the specification.  These values are coded and the codes will be used by the system to validate the transaction.  Going from full-time to part-time is also considered a demotion, although this is recorded as a Change in Compensation Method transaction.

Promotion (08)

A promotion, in NJAC 4A:1-1.3, is defined as an advancement in title. In the CAMPS system, a promotion is defined as moving to a higher title as determined by the increase in experience or education needed to perform the job as outlined in the specification.  These values are coded and the codes will be used by the system to validate the transaction.

Leave of Absence (09)

Leave of Absence is defined as the input of leave information in accordance with Chapter 6, Subchapter 1, of NJAC 4A.

Return from Leave of Absence (10)

This refers to the entry of the employee return date from a formal leave of absence entered under the Leave of Absence Transaction (09).

Aggregate Leave of Absence (11)

This is used to record missed, unpaid workdays that accumulate throughout a single year.  This time is not currently deducted from the employee's seniority, or working test period if they served one during the unpaid leave.  These are not formal leaves of absence as requested in the Leave of Absence transaction.

Static Change Transactions (ES and 12)

There are two static change transactions:  one is used for changing employee information (Employee Static Change) and the other is used for changing job information (Job Static Change).  The Job Static function is only available to CSC staff.

Disciplinary Action (14)

This transaction is used for both major and minor disciplinary actions.  Major discipline transactions (demotion, removal, 6+ days’ suspension) are not entered into the system until after an employee has been served with a DPF31 A & B.  Minor discipline actions that do not require a DPF31 A & B must still be entered into CAMPS because any suspension time will be deducted from an employee’s seniority.

Individual Salary Adjustment (17)

An Individual Salary Adjustment is a change in the base salary of an individual due to contract, performance, etc.  This does not include increases due to promotion, changes in hours of work from full-time to part-time (a “CM” transaction), or a decrease in salary due to demotion.

Advancement (19)

An Advancement is defined as moving to a higher title as determined by the increase in experience or education needed to perform the job as outlined in the specification.  An Advancement is used when the rules for promotion, demotion, or lateral transactions do not apply; and no promotional procedures will be implemented.  Examples would be:  moving to or from an unclassified title, moving to an IA or TA appointment in a different title, or returning to a higher title after being demoted in a layoff.

Special Payment (91)

A Special Payment is an addition of a lump sum payment not added to the base salary, for a bonus, vacation pay, sick leave pay, clothing allowance, etc.

Lateral (94)

A lateral, in NJAC 4A:4-7.6(a), is defined as the movement of a permanent employee from his or her permanent title to an equivalent title within the same organizational unit.  In the CAMPS system, a lateral is defined as moving to a title in which the same level of experience and education is needed to perform the job as outlined in the specification.  However, the Lateral screen may also be used to move an employee from one non-permanent appointment type to another (TA to PA) in the same title code.  In these cases, if the new appt type is PAOC, the system does not require that the employee have permanent status.

Change in Compensation Method (CM)

This transaction is used to change the mode of compensation; for example, going from part-time to full-time or vice versa.  A move from full-time to part-time status is considered a demotion, and will be reflected as such by the reason code.

Conversion Record (CN)

A Conversion Record is a transaction that could not be categorized in an automated fashion from old transaction types to CAMPS transaction types.  Certain future and retroactive transactions may need to be updated by CSC staff.

Intergovernmental Transfer (IT)

An intergovernmental transfer, in NJAC 4A:4-7.1A, is defined as the movement of a permanent employee or a recently laid-off employee between governmental jurisdictions operating under NJS Title 11A.  In the CAMPS system, the employee, prior to transfer, must have a permanent appointment and must be separated from the losing jurisdiction prior to entering the transaction by the gaining jurisdiction.
