New Jersey Statutes Title 34. Labor and Workmen's Compensation 34 § 1-9

The commissioner shall be the appointing authority of the department and shall in accordance with the civil service laws employ such inspectors, clerks, stenographers and other personnel as he may consider necessary and shall fix the salaries of officers and employees, subject to the provisions of Title 11, Civil Service,  1 except where otherwise provided by statute. He may assign or transfer clerks, stenographers and inspectors from one bureau to another or combine the clerical force of two or more bureaus as may be necessary or advisable. He may require from one bureau assistance in the work of another bureau. He may abolish any office or position which in his judgment it may be unnecessary to retain.

The organization of the department is intended to facilitate the economical and efficient performance of its work and not to impair the control or responsibility of the commissioner.
