New Jersey’s Mandatory Gender Discrimination Notice Available

01/02/14

The New Jersey Department of Labor has issued a new mandatory gender equity notification form. Employers with at least 50 employees, whether working inside or outside of New Jersey, must conspicuously post the notice, as well as distribute it to employees (P.L. 2012, c.57). The notification serves to put employees on notice of their rights to be free from gender inequity or bias in pay, compensation, benefits, or other employment terms and conditions under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Equal Pay Act of 1963.

New Jersey Social Media Privacy Law

11/12/13

New Jersey has enacted a law that prohibits employers from requiring or requesting access to employees’ and applicants’ personal social media accounts. While New Jersey employers may continue to access and use any information about current employees and job hopefuls in the public domain, New Jersey Assembly Bill No. 2878 (“A2878”) prohibits employers from forcing their workers or job applicants to disclose personal information (such as usernames, passwords or other login information) for accessing accounts or services provided by websites such as Facebook and Twitter. The new law also forbids employers from retaliating against employees who refuse to provide login information to their social media accounts or who assist in the investigation or reporting of alleged violations of A2878. The new law becomes effective on December 1, 2013.
