Bill Summary
Exempts poll workers wages from affecting unemployment compensation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "unemployment" within New Jersey's unemployment compensation law to ensure that wages earned by poll workers for their election day duties, early voting, or mail-in ballot processing do not negatively impact their eligibility for unemployment benefits. Specifically, it clarifies that such compensation will not be considered "remuneration" when calculating unemployment benefits, meaning these earnings will not reduce the amount of unemployment compensation an individual receives. This change aims to encourage participation in election work without financial penalty for those who may also be seeking or receiving unemployment benefits.
