Bill overview
This bill restricts how employers in New Jersey can use the portion of a worker’s prevailing wage that covers benefits (like retirement or health insurance) to fund bonuses or other incentive programs. Specifically, it prevents employers from automatically enrolling employees in these benefit programs or using the benefit portion to pay bonuses. Employees will still receive the benefit portion through other means allowed by the New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act if they opt out of a specific program.
