If your agency is not here

These are the New Jersey agencies whose own documents we have been able to obtain and read in full. An agency missing from this list usually means the policy is not published rather than that there is no policy - your own chain of command holds the current version.

The four pages in our off-duty section describe how this kind of work runs in general, whatever your agency.

Other states

Back to the map — every state and territory, and what is published in each.

Whatever your agency's rules turn out to be

The record is yours either way — the hours, the employer, the rate, the miles, and whether the money has landed.
