Requires DOLWD to develop and execute information technology stress test and emergency telework plan for employees.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to create two key plans: an IT stress test to identify vulnerabilities in its technology systems and an emergency telework program for employees. The IT stress test must analyze systems using methods recommended by the state's Chief Technology Officer, focusing on issues exposed during the pandemic, with solutions proposed within five years after the pandemic emergency ends. DOLWD must also establish a consistent telework program that considers employee requests for remote work based on agency needs. The department must conduct the IT test initially and every 15 years thereafter, reporting findings and costs to the Governor and Legislature within six months.
