A 4309 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes additional manner of employer compliance to provide earned sick leave for certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements.

This bill modifies New Jersey's earned sick leave law to provide an alternative compliance method for employers with unionized workers. It allows employers to meet sick leave requirements by offering at least 40 hours of paid time off (PTO) per benefit year - covering personal, vacation, or sick days - to employees under collective bargaining agreements, instead of tracking separate sick leave accruals. The PTO must serve the same purposes as sick leave and applies retroactively to the 2018 law's effective date. This directly affects unionized employees in New Jersey covered by collective bargaining agreements, simplifying compliance for employers.
