New Jersey Statutes Title 40A. Municipalities and Counties 40A § 9-171

Whenever a person shall have performed services for any municipality in an office or position created by or pursuant to a statute declared to be unconstitutional after the creation of the office or position, such person shall be compensated for his services prior to the statute being declared to be unconstitutional.

Where the statute so declared to be unconstitutional did not fix the compensation payable to the officer or employee, his compensation for his said services shall be determined by the governing body at the rate fixed for comparable services.
