HIGHLIGHTS
Understanding and Complying with New Jersey’s Pay Equity and Paid Sick Leave Laws
Kathleen McLeod Caminiti, Esq. and Alvaro Hasani, Esq. - Fisher Phillips LLP
New Jersey’s Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act went into effect on July 1, 2018. With one swoop of the pen, New Jersey has become the first state to pass an equal pay law that extends protections beyond gender to all classes of employees that are protected under the state’s anti-discrimination law. What’s more, high stakes litigation involving professionals -- including accountants – is on the rise. Now is the time for employers to ensure their pay practices and policies are in compliance.
The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act will go into effect on October 29, 2018. Once effective, it will require New Jersey employers of all sizes to provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave per year to covered employees. This program will walk through employers’ responsibilities under these laws and examine the challenges now facing New Jersey businesses as they grapple with this expansive -- and expensive -- legislation.
New York State Sexual Harassment Law effective Oct. 9, 2018 states that all employers in New York, regardless of size, must have a policy regarding sexual harassment; complete training for all employees in accordance with the new guidelines by year-end; facilitate training for new employees within 30 days of their start date; and establish annual sexual harassment training for all employees. Additionally, new laws impact the settlement of claims of sexual harassment and limitations on deductibility and non-disclosure provisions.
