NJ A1928

Non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts that waive rights or remedies related to discrimination, retaliation, or harassment claims are deemed unenforceable and against public policy

Removes the existing exemption that allowed collective bargaining agreements to be excluded from restrictions on non-disclosure provisions

Collective bargaining agreements may still include provisions requiring mediation or arbitration for discrimination, retaliation, or harassment claims

Settlement agreements must include a bold, prominent notice informing employees that confidentiality provisions become unenforceable against employers if the employee reveals enough details to reasonably identify the employer

The law applies to all contracts and agreements entered into, renewed, modified, or amended after the effective date
