Creates "New Jersey Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights Act."
This bill establishes New Jersey's first comprehensive legal protections for domestic workers, directly affecting individuals providing in-home services like childcare, house cleaning, home care, and cooking. It mandates minimum wage, overtime pay, and paid sick leave for domestic workers (excluding family members, contractors, and minors), while creating a complaint system enforced by the Department of Labor. Key provisions require employers to provide written employment agreements, prohibit retaliation for filing complaints, and clarify that referral agencies cannot control wages or working conditions after placement. The law responds to documented issues of low pay, wage theft, and lack of enforcement in the industry, aligning New Jersey with other states that have enacted similar protections.
