Requires employers whose employees are subject to contracts that are amendable and do not expire to provide earned sick leave.
This bill (S 3510) amends New Jersey’s Earned Sick Leave Law to require employers to provide earned sick leave for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements that are "amendable" (not just expiring) contracts. It directly affects workers in unionized workplaces where contracts become amendable but do not have a set expiration date. The key change clarifies that the sick leave requirement applies when such contracts become amendable, ensuring these employees receive the same benefits as those covered by expiring contracts. The law maintains existing protections for more generous employer policies or collective bargaining agreements.
