Prohibits remote work for State employees.
This bill prohibits New Jersey state employees in career, senior executive, and unclassified positions from working remotely. It amends state law to require that the Civil Service Commission's rules for work hours and overtime pay must not permit remote work, ending the existing 2022 telework pilot program that allowed up to two remote days weekly. The prohibition takes immediate effect upon enactment and applies specifically to employees in those service categories. The bill does not change overtime or holiday pay rules but removes remote work as an option for affected employees.
