On a scale of 1-10, how prepared are you for New Jersey’s new, sweeping workplace laws?

Many have long considered New Jersey to be one of the most employee-friendly states in the country; the California of the east coast. But, in 2018, New Jersey did its best to out-“California” California.

Before the year ends, all New Jersey employers must provide paid generous sick leave. Oh, your business already provides generous PTO? But, how confident are you that your policy checks all of the boxes of the new state law? While you ponder that, the progressive equal-pay law in the country took effect this Summer. We’re talking equal pay across all protected classes, not just gender, a six-year statute of limitations, and, if you mess up, the judge must award triple damages!!!   The question bears repeating. On a scale of 1-10, how prepared are you for New Jersey’s new, sweeping workplace laws? If the answer is anything less than a 10, then consider attending this [length]-minute session.

This session will provide you with:

•  A better understanding of the intricacies of New Jersey’s workplace laws on equal pay and paid sick leave.
•  Best practices for compliance in your company.
•  Tips to avoid the legal headaches that will plague reactive businesses.
