AI Summary

  • Amends New Jersey's Earned Sick Leave Law (N.J.S.A.34:11D-1 et seq.) to extend coverage to employees under collective bargaining agreements that become "amendable" rather than only those that expire or terminate.

  • Addresses a gap affecting workers under Railway Labor Act contracts (45 U.S.C. s.151 et seq.), where agreements become amendable at a certain date but remain in effect during negotiations rather than expiring.

  • Applies immediately upon enactment for contracts that became amendable after the original 2018 Earned Sick Leave Law took effect but before this bill's passage.

  • Maintains existing provisions that allow employees or union representatives to waive earned sick leave rights during collective bargaining negotiations.
