Requires employer of volunteer first responder to provide employee with one additional paid sick day per benefit year for healthcare diagnostic testing.

S 3521 requires employers in New Jersey to provide one additional paid sick day per benefit year to employees who serve as volunteer first responders (such as firefighters or emergency medical personnel). This day is specifically for healthcare diagnostic testing related to potential exposure during volunteer duties, like responding to accidents or emergencies. The bill applies to employers with at least 25 employees that have operated for two years. The Commissioner of Labor will develop implementation rules, aiming to support volunteer recruitment and retention by helping responders balance paid work and community service.
