Requires employers to provide paid leave to employees to vote in certain circumstances.
This bill requires New Jersey private employers to provide employees with two hours of paid leave annually to vote in general elections. Employees must give two business days' notice, and employers must display voting leave rights 10 days before elections. The law excludes construction workers under collective bargaining agreements, per diem healthcare workers, and public employees already receiving paid voting leave. It applies to most private-sector workers in the state, with enforcement tied to existing wage laws.
