Prohibits training repayment agreements.

This bill prohibits employers in New Jersey from requiring employees or job applicants to sign training repayment agreements as a condition of employment. Under the law, any such agreement is automatically invalid, and employees cannot be forced to make payments if they leave their job. The bill defines these agreements as contracts that charge workers money if they depart, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, but excludes cash advances, equipment payments, sabbatical contracts, and agreements negotiated through collective bargaining. Violations of this rule are treated as failures to comply with existing employment laws, allowing employees to pursue penalties or legal action against employers who enforce these prohibited agreements.
