Prohibits certain employment actions against employees affected by a declared state of emergency.

New Jersey's A465 prohibits employers from firing, demoting, or punishing employees who cannot work due to a declared state of emergency (e.g., evacuations or travel bans). It also prevents employers from requiring employees to use sick or personal leave for emergency-related absences. Employees must notify employers of their absence and return to work as soon as safety permits, but employers are not required to pay them during the emergency. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $10,000 per offense. The law excludes healthcare workers, public safety personnel, and contractors for emergency services from its protections.
