Permits State and certain local government employees to work on Good Friday in exchange for alternate religious holiday leave.
This bill allows New Jersey state and certain local government employees to work on Good Friday in exchange for taking time off on another pre-approved religious holiday during the same calendar year. It directs the Civil Service Commission to create a list of acceptable holidays based on the Commissioner of Education's existing list of observable religious holidays. Employees must notify their employer by January 1 to use the alternate leave, and school employees are explicitly excluded from this program. The policy applies to all state government workers, with rules to be established by the Civil Service Commission.
