A 4414 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Immunizes employers from civil liability for certain disclosures regarding employees and former employees.

This bill (A4414) grants private employers in New Jersey immunity from civil lawsuits when sharing specific employee information in good faith. It protects disclosures to prospective employers or regulatory authorities about an employee's name, title, compensation, employment duration, separation reasons, job qualifications, attendance, and work-related accidents. Employers making such disclosures are presumed to be acting in good faith unless proven otherwise with clear evidence of malicious intent. The immunity applies only to private employers (not state entities), covering information contained in an employee's personnel file as defined by the bill.
