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 conditions to work remotely at least two full days per month. It covers specific conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and severe menstrual symptoms that cause discomfort but do not prevent performing job duties. Employers may request medical documentation to verify eligibility and cannot penalize employees for requesting remote work. Employers must prove any remote work request would cause undue hardship or prevent essential job performance, with violations subject to civil penalties up to $10,000.
