A 3334 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires employer to allow employee suffering from menstrual disorder to work remotely in certain circumstances.

This bill requires New Jersey employers to allow employees with qualifying menstrual disorders to work remotely for at least two full days each month. It covers conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, and severe premenstrual symptoms that cause discomfort but do not prevent performing job duties. Employers must accommodate the request unless they prove it creates an undue hardship (with the burden of proof on them), and may require a medical note for verification. Employers cannot penalize employees for requesting or using remote work, and violations carry civil penalties up to $10,000 per incident.
