a. An officer or firefighter appealing a final determination terminating his employment to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court, shall not be entitled to the payment of any base salary under the provisions of section 2 of P.L.2009, c. 16 (C.40A:14-201) during the pendency of that appeal.

b. If the employing agency or department appeals a final determination rendered by the Civil Service Commission to the Appellate Division, the officer or firefighter shall continue to receive his base salary during the pendency of that appeal.
