S 1694 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Office of Leave Time Compliance in DCA to ensure municipal, county, and school district compliance with accumulated sick leave and vacation leave laws.

This bill establishes the Office of Leave Time Compliance within New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to ensure municipal, county, and school district employees' sick and vacation leave policies follow state law (specifically referencing P.L.2007, c.92 and P.L.2010, c.3). The office requires local governments to submit certified data on leave payouts and undergo system reviews to verify compliance, issuing corrective plans for noncompliance or restricting budget increases until resolved. It mandates annual reporting to the Governor and Legislature detailing compliance assessments, enforcement actions, and recommendations. The bill directly affects local government employers managing employee leave policies but does not alter the underlying leave laws themselves.
