A 3408 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns work break periods and warehouse conditions of employment.

This bill establishes new requirements for work breaks and wage standards in warehouse employment. It directly affects large warehouse employers (those with 100+ workers at a single facility or 1,000+ across multiple facilities) and their employees. Key provisions include defining "fair wage" as compensation meeting minimum living costs and prohibiting "oppressive and unreasonable wage" practices, such as setting pay through quotas that violate the law. The bill also clarifies that wages must include pay for meal and rest periods, and it introduces definitions for "employee work speed data" collected by warehouse employers.
