Prohibits remote work for employees of State and of political subdivisions operating under "Civil Service Act."
This bill prohibits remote work for employees of the State of New Jersey and local political subdivisions that operate under the Civil Service Act. The legislation amends existing statutes to explicitly ban telework for career, senior executive, and unclassified state employees and forbids the Civil Service Commission from creating rules that allow remote work. Additionally, the law extends this prohibition to civil service employees in covered local governments, ensuring they must work on-site rather than from home.
