S 4583 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Office of Labor Law Enforcement.

S 4583 establishes a new Office of Labor Law Enforcement within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The office will coordinate enforcement of state labor laws covering wages, benefits, and worker protections (like wage theft, misclassification, and benefit payments) for employers and workers. Key provisions require the Attorney General to assign deputy attorneys general to labor enforcement cases (co-located with department staff), mandate an annual public report on enforcement activities and funding, and direct all collected fines to cover enforcement costs. This bill directly affects employers who violate labor laws and workers relying on enforced wage and benefit standards.
