Bill > S4057

This bill amends existing New Jersey state law to prohibit remote work for state employees in the career, senior executive, and unclassified services. Specifically, the bill modifies N.J.S.11A:6-24 to add language that explicitly prevents the Civil Service Commission from establishing rules that would allow remote work for state employees. This effectively eliminates the Model Telework Pilot Program that was approved in April 2022, which had previously permitted state employees to work remotely up to two days per week. The bill maintains existing provisions about overtime compensation and holiday pay, but adds a clear restriction on remote work arrangements. By prohibiting remote work, the bill aims to require state employees to work fully on-site, potentially impacting workplace flexibility and employee work arrangements. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
