The New Jersey Wage and Hour Law sets standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, and other employment practices in the state. Under the law, most employees in New Jersey must be paid at least the state minimum wage, which is currently $14.13 per hour for most workers.
In addition to the minimum wage, the law also requires employers to pay eligible employees overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime pay must be at least one-and-a-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay.
The law also sets standards for meal and rest breaks, as well as for record-keeping and pay stub requirements. For example, most employees must be given a 30-minute meal break after working for five consecutive hours, and employers must keep accurate records of the hours their employees work.
There are some exemptions to the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements, such as for certain types of salaried employees and for workers in certain industries. However, these exemptions are narrowly defined and generally apply only to specific types of workers.
Employers who violate the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law can be subject to fines and other penalties. If you have any questions or concerns about your rights under the law, you can contact the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development for more information.
