A 4456 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Implements recommendations of State Comptroller report on municipal sick leave, vacation leave, and supplemental payment policies; establishes certain financial penalties.

This bill requires New Jersey municipalities to follow existing state laws governing sick leave, vacation leave, and extra payments beyond regular wages to employees. It mandates that municipalities publicly post their supplemental payment policies online, approve individual extra payments at public meetings with advance notice, and provide supporting documentation for review. Municipalities that violate these rules face penalties, including annual withholding of state aid or restrictions on property tax increases until compliance is verified. The bill directly affects all New Jersey towns, cities, and boroughs that pay employees additional compensation beyond standard wages.
