Prohibiting training repayment agreements.

S 2105 prohibits employers in New Jersey from requiring employees or job applicants to sign training repayment agreements as a condition of employment. These agreements, which would obligate workers to pay back training costs if they leave their job, would be void under the law. The bill specifically excludes cash advances, equipment payments, sabbatical contracts, and agreements from collective bargaining from this prohibition. It also protects workers from retaliation if they refuse such agreements or report violations. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
