On Monday the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development published proposed new rules implementing P.L. 2018, c. 10, which requires all employers, including local governments, to provide employees with earned sick leave. As you should already be aware, P.L. 2018, c.10, takes effect October 29, 2018, and on that date, all affected employers are required to provide employees one hour of earned sick leave for every 30 hours worked. More information on this can be found in the League’s blog post from earlier this year.
The proposed new rules include sections addressing violations, administrative penalties and fees, interest, hearings, record keeping procedures, and more. A public hearing on these rules is scheduled for November 13, 2018, and written comments must be submitted by December 14, 2018. For further information on the public hearing or how to submit comments, please see the complete notice of proposed rules.
The League, along with our affiliates, is reviewing the proposed new rules and will be offering comments to address any concerns. It is suggested that you review these proposed rules with you labor counsel for more information on how you will be impacted.
