BAYONNE, N.J. — Newly retired city Fire Chief Greg Rogers will receive an annual pension of $167,118 and a payout of $231,798 for unused vacation, sick time and terminal leave, according to state and city records.
Rogers, whose annual base salary was $241,080 at the time of his retirement on March 1, served in the city Fire Department for more than 35 years and worked as fire chief for nearly eight years. He was succeeded by Keith Weaver, formerly a deputy fire chief, last week.
According to city records, Rogers, who was born in 1959, had a total of 3,335 hours of unused time but relinquished 1,235 of those hours to the city. City spokesman Joe Ryan said Rogers gave those hours back because they exceeded a cap set by his contract.
