Requires businesses receiving financial assistance from EDA be prohibited from any gender gap payment practice to their employees.

This bill requires businesses receiving financial assistance from New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to stop paying employees differently based on gender for substantially similar work. The EDA must adopt rules prohibiting gender-based pay discrimination and require these businesses to submit written documentation verifying compliance. The bill defines gender discrimination as paying employees of one sex less than the rate paid to employees of the other sex for work requiring comparable skill, effort, and responsibility. It applies to all businesses receiving EDA assistance - including loans, grants, tax credits, and other financial support - covering corporations, partnerships, and non-profits.
