Establishes workplace policies on employees' right to disconnect from work.

This New Jersey bill requires most private and public employers to create written policies granting employees the right to ignore work communications during nonworking hours (defined as hours outside an employee's scheduled shift). Exceptions include emergencies (threatening safety or operations) or last-minute scheduling changes, which must be agreed upon in writing. Employers who repeatedly violate this right (three or more documented cases) face civil penalties of at least $100 per violation. The law excludes employees covered by collective bargaining agreements.
