Bill Summary
This bill prohibits remote work for State employees. Under current law, the Civil Service Commission is required to adopt rules for States employees' hours of work. The Model Telework Pilot Program was approved and established by the Civil Service Commission in April of 2022, and offered the option for State employees to work remotely up to two working days per week. This bill will prohibit the commission from establishing rules that permit remote work for State employees.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits State employees from working remotely, overriding a previous pilot program that allowed some employees to work from home up to two days a week. Currently, the Civil Service Commission, a body responsible for establishing rules for State employees' work hours, had implemented a Model Telework Pilot Program in April 2022. This bill amends existing law, specifically N.J.S.11A:6-24, to prevent the Civil Service Commission from creating any rules that permit remote work for State employees in the career, senior executive, and unclassified services, which are categories of State employment.
