Permits State and certain local government employees to work on Good Friday in exchange for alternate religious holiday leave.

This bill allows New Jersey state and certain local government employees to work on Good Friday in exchange for a day off on another pre-approved religious holiday during the same calendar year. It requires the Civil Service Commission to create a list of acceptable holidays based on the existing list used by schools (per N.J.S.18A:36-16), excluding school employees from this option. Employees must notify their employer by January 1 to use the alternate holiday, and failure to do so results in the leave defaulting to Good Friday. The policy directly affects eligible government workers while maintaining existing paid holiday structure for other days.
