A 2897 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires employers within construction industry to notify employees of certain rights.

This New Jersey bill (A2897) requires construction industry employers to inform workers about key workplace rights, including unemployment benefits, minimum wage, overtime pay, and protections against retaliation. Employers must conspicuously post multilingual notices (in English, Spanish, and other languages based on workforce needs) in accessible locations and provide written copies at hiring or upon request. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $1,500 for a first offense and $5,000 for repeat violations within five years. The bill directly affects construction employers and their employees, supplementing existing protections under the Construction Industry Independent Contractor Act (P.L.2007, c.114).
