SECTION 260:35-9-1. Cash nominations and proposals

(a)   Nominations and proposals must be submitted on forms and according to procedures prescribed by the Committee. Only those nominations and proposals forwarded to the Committee by agency administrators will be considered. Any nomination or proposal which may result in individual incentive compensation or unit incentive pay must:

(1)   Be certified by the administrator of the submitting agency that funds for such award are available, or will be available through accrued savings, and those funds have been encumbered for the purpose of making any resulting award.

(2)   Be accompanied by acceptable accounting procedure or guidelines to be used by the agency in documenting the actual savings during the fiscal year.

(b)   If an unadopted cash nomination is subsequently adopted within one year after the date of rejection, the proposer may submit to the Committee a request for reconsideration. Such request must be submitted within 90 days of adoption of the nomination. Any unadopted nomination may be resubmitted and considered eligible after a lapse of one year. The proposer may request the Committee to re-evaluate the amount of any award or the rejection of any nominations, acted upon by the Committee, if done so within 90 days of award or rejections. However, the Committee, the coordinator, and the evaluators, while acting in good faith, shall remain faultless for disposition of nominations.
