For purposes of this section, each incident of domestic violence or any sexually violent offense shall constitute a separate offense for which an employee is entitled to unpaid leave, provided that the employee has not exhausted the allotted 20 days for the 12-month period. The unpaid leave may be taken intermittently in intervals of no less than one day, as needed for the purpose of engaging in any of the following activities as they relate to the incident of domestic violence or sexually violent offense: (1) seeking medical attention for, or recovering from, physical or psychological injuries caused by domestic or sexual violence to the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner individual, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent of a family relationship; (2) obtaining services from a victim services organization for the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner individual, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent; (3) obtaining psychological or other counseling for the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner individual, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent of a family relationship; (4) participating in safety planning, temporarily or permanently relocating, or taking other actions to increase the safety of the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner individual, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent of a family relationship, from future domestic or sexual violence or to ensure economic security; (5) seeking legal assistance or remedies to ensure the health and safety of the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner, individual, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent of a family relationship, including preparing for, or participating in, any civil or criminal legal proceeding related to or derived from domestic or sexual violence; or (6) attending, participating in, or preparing for a criminal or civil court proceeding relating to an incident of domestic or sexual violence of which the employee or the employee's parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner, or any other individual related by blood to the employee, and any other individual that the employee shows to have a close association with the employee which is the equivalent of a family relationship, was a victim.

In such case, any paid leave provided by the employer, and accrued pursuant to established policies of the employer, or family temporary disability leave benefits, shall run concurrently with the unpaid leave provided under this subsection and, accordingly, the employee shall receive pay pursuant to the employer's applicable paid leave policy, or family temporary disability leave benefits, during the period of otherwise unpaid leave. If an employee requests leave for a reason covered by both this subsection and the "Family Leave Act," P.L.1989, c.261 (C.34:11B-1 et seq.) or the federal "Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993," Pub.L.103-3 (29 U.S.C. s.2601 et seq.), the leave shall count simultaneously against the employee's entitlement under each respective law. Leave granted under this section shall not conflict with any rights pursuant to the "Family Leave Act," P.L.1989, c.261 (C.34:11B-1 et seq.), the "Temporary Disability Benefits Law," P.L.1948, c.110 (C.43:21-25 et al.), or the federal "Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993," Pub.L.103-3 (29 U.S.C. s.2601 et seq.). b. Prior to taking the leave provided for in this section, an employee shall, if the necessity for the leave is foreseeable, provide the employer with written notice of the need for the leave, unless an emergency or other unforeseen circumstances precludes prior notice. The notice shall be provided to the employer as far in advance as is reasonable and practical under the circumstances. c. Nothing contained in this act shall be construed to prohibit an employer from requiring that a period of leave provided pursuant to this section be supported by the employee with documentation of the domestic violence or sexually violent offense which is the basis for the leave.

An employer shall display conspicuous notice of its employees' rights and obligations pursuant to the provisions of this act, in such form and in such manner as the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development shall prescribe, and use other appropriate means to keep its employees so informed. e. No provision of this act shall be construed as requiring or permitting an employer to reduce employment benefits provided by the employer or required by a collective bargaining agreement which are in excess of those required by this act. Nor shall any provision of this act be construed to prohibit the negotiation and provision through collective bargaining agreements of leave policies or benefit programs which provide benefits in excess of those required by this act. This provision shall apply irrespective of the date that a collective bargaining agreement takes effect. Nothing contained in this act shall be construed as permitting an employer to: (1) rescind or reduce any employment benefit accrued prior to the date on which the leave taken pursuant to this act commenced; or (2) rescind or reduce any employment benefit, unless the rescission or reduction of the benefit is based on changes that would have occurred if an employee continued to work without taking the leave provided pursuant to this section. f. All information provided to an employer pursuant to subsection c. of this section, and any information regarding a leave taken pursuant to this section and any failure of an employee to return to work, shall be retained in the strictest confidentiality, unless the disclosure is voluntarily authorized in writing by the employee or is required by a federal or State law, rule, or regulation.

The commissioner may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and records. Any entity that fails to furnish information required by the commissioner or agent of the commissioner upon request, or who refuses to admit the commissioner or agent to the place of employment of the employer, or who hinders or delays the commissioner or agent in the performance of duties in the enforcement of this section, may be fined not less than $1,000 and shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense. Each day of the failure to furnish the time and wage records to the commissioner or agent shall constitute a separate offense, and each day of refusal to admit, of hindering, or of delaying the commissioner or agent shall constitute a separate offense. In addition to the foregoing fines, and in addition to or as an alternative to any criminal proceedings, if an entity fails to comply with any lawfully issued subpoena, or upon the refusal of any witness to testify to any matter regarding which the witness may be lawfully interrogated, the commissioner or the commissioner's designee may apply to the Superior Court to compel obedience by proceedings for contempt, in the same manner as in a failure to comply with the requirements of a subpoena issued from the court or a refusal to testify in the court. c. (1) If the commissioner determines, after either an initial determination as a result of an audit of a business or an investigation pursuant to subsection a. of this section, that an employer is in violation of any State wage, benefit and tax law, as defined in section 1 of P.L.2009, c.194 (C.34:1A-1.11), including but not limited to a violation of R.S.34:15-79, or has failed to meet obligations as provided in R.S.43:21-7 or R.S.43:21-14, or for a violation of any provision of P.L.1940, c.153 (C.34:2-21.1 et seq.) or P.L.1989, c.293 (C.34:15C-1 et al.), the commissioner may issue a stop-work order against the employer requiring cessation of all business operations of the employer at one or more worksites or across all of the employer's worksites and places of business. The stop-work order may be issued only against the employer found to be in violation or non-compliance. If a stop-work order has been issued against a subcontractor pursuant to this subsection, the general contractor shall retain the right to terminate the subcontractor from the project. The order shall be effective when served upon the employer at the place of business or, for a particular employer worksite, when served at that worksite. The order shall remain in effect until the commissioner issues an order releasing the stop-work order upon finding that the employer has come into compliance and has paid any penalty deemed to be satisfactory to the commissioner, or after the commissioner determines, in a hearing held pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection, that the employer did not commit the act on which the order was based. The stop-work order shall be effective against any successor entity engaged in the same or equivalent trade or activity that has one or more of the same principals or officers as the corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or sole proprietorship against which the stop-work order was issued. (2) An employer who is subject to a stop-work order shall have the right to appeal to the commissioner. The contractor may notify the Director of the Division of Wage and Hour Compliance of its request for an opportunity to be heard and contest the stop-work order in writing within 72 hours of its receipt of the notification. A request for hearing shall not automatically stay the effect of the order. Within seven business days of receipt of the notification from the contractor, the director shall hold a hearing to allow the contractor to contest the issuance of a stop-work order. The director shall permit the contractor to present evidence at the hearing. If the director fails to hold a hearing within seven business days of receipt of the notification from the contractor, an administrative law judge shall have the authority to release the stop-work order. The director shall issue a written decision within five business days of the hearing either upholding or reversing the contractor's stop-work order. The decision shall include the grounds for upholding or reversing the contractor's stop-work order. If the contractor disagrees with the written decision, the contractor may appeal the decision to the commissioner, in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.). If the employer does not request an appeal to the commissioner in writing, the stop-work order shall become a final order after the expiration of the 72-hour period. The authority to assess a civil penalty under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be in addition to any misclassification penalty assessed under this subsection and all other enforcement provisions or assessments issued for the employer's violation of any State wage, benefit and tax law, including but not limited to a violation of R.S.34:15-79, or a failure to meet obligations required by R.S.43:21-7 or R.S.43:21-14, or for a violation of any provision of P.L.1940, c.153 (C.34:2-21.1 et seq.) or P.L.1989, c.293 (C.34:15C-1 et al.). The commission may compromise any civil penalty assessed under this section in an amount the commissioner determines to be appropriate. Once the stop-work order becomes final, any employee affected by a stop-work order issued pursuant to this section shall be entitled to pay from the employer for the first ten days of work lost because of the stop-work order. Upon request of any employee not paid wages, the commissioner may take assignment of the claim and bring any legal action necessary to collect all that is due. (3) As an alternative to issuing a stop-work order in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection, if the commissioner determines, after an investigation pursuant to subsection a. of this section, that an employer is in violation of R.S.34:15-79, the commissioner may provide and transfer all details and materials related to the investigation under this section to the Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation for any enforcement of penalties or stop-work orders the director determines are appropriate.

The rate of severance pay provided by the employer pursuant to this subsection b. shall be the average regular rate of compensation received during the employee's last three years of employment with the employer or the final regular rate of compensation paid to the employee, whichever rate is higher. Severance under this subsection shall be regarded as compensation due to an employee for back pay and losses associated with the termination of the employment relationship, and earned in full upon the termination of the employment relationship, notwithstanding the calculation of the amount of the payment with reference to the employee's length of service. An employer shall provide an employee the severance pay required pursuant to this subsection b. or any severance pay provided by the employer pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement or for any other reason, whichever is greater. Any back pay provided by the employer to the employee pursuant to section 5 of the "Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act," Pub.L.100-379 (29 U.S.C. s.2104), because of a violation of section 3 of that act (29 U.S.C. s. 2102) shall be credited toward meeting the severance pay requirements of this subsection b.; and c.

In determining whether a termination or transfer of operations or a mass layoff is subject to the notification requirements of this section, any terminations of employment for two or more groups at a single establishment occurring within any 90-day period, when each group has less than the number of terminations which would trigger the notification requirements of this section but the aggregate for all of the groups exceeds that number, shall be regarded as subject to the notification requirements unless the employer demonstrates that the cause of the terminations for each group is separate and distinct from the causes of the terminations for the other group or groups. d. For purposes of this section, "employer" includes any individual, partnership, association, corporation, or any person or group of persons acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee, and includes any person who, directly or indirectly, owns and operates the nominal employer, or owns a corporate subsidiary that, directly or indirectly, owns and operates the nominal employer or makes the decision responsible for the employment action that gives rise to a mass layoff subject to notification. e. No waiver of the right to severance provided pursuant to this section shall be effective without approval of the waiver by the commissioner or a court of competent jurisdiction.

Findings, declarations.
Status: in_force

36. a. The Legislature finds and declares that: (1) there are certain areas of the State, known as "food desert" communities, in which residents are unable to obtain reasonable and adequate access to nutritious foods and, in particular, to fresh fruits and vegetables; (2) the inaccessibility of nutritious food in food desert communities has been attributed, in large part, to the absence of supermarkets and grocery stores in those communities; (3) low-income families are more likely than others to live in food desert communities and to lack the transportation or financial resources necessary to reach distant wholesome markets; and (4) the establishment of financial incentives to supermarkets, grocery stores, mid-sized food retailers, and small food retailers is a reasonable means by which to ensure that residents of food desert communities in the State are provided with reasonable access to nutritious, fresh, and delicious produce, and are afforded the opportunity thereby to make healthier eating choices for themselves and for their families. b. The Legislature therefore determines that it is both reasonable and necessary to authorize the New Jersey Economic Development Authority to establish a program that provides financial assistance to supermarkets, grocery stores, mid-sized food retailers, and small food retailers to establish and retain locations in food desert communities in order to provide a consistent, and easily accessible, source of fresh produce to residents in those communities.

Legislative findings and declaration
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds that there continue to exist in the State areas of high unemployment, low levels of new capital investment, depressed living and working conditions, and a deteriorating tax base; that vigorous action can halt the decline or threat of decline in economic activity and the underemployment of economic resources in these areas, avert economic losses, reverse the deterioration of the value of existing investment therein and the level of public revenue collections on that investment, and eliminate the disincentive to new investment; and that the improvement of these areas is vital to the safety, health and welfare of the residents thereof and of the State, and constitutes a major opportunity for enhancing the economic condition of the State, for augmenting the fiscal resources of government and for assisting private and public efforts on behalf of community development. The Legislature determines that the development and redevelopment of these areas require substantial private capital spending; that the stimulation of that spending in turn requires the leadership of the State and of the citizens of the municipalities concerned as to financial commitment and as to public participation in the planning of the course of economic renewal; that many municipalities, counties, local development corporations and other entities engaged in economic development in these areas of the State have shown a willingness to cooperate with the private sector, the dynamism and discipline of which are essential to reviving all aspects of a community, and to help the private sector make the necessary financial commitment to undertake economic enterprises in older communities; that many entrepreneurs, and the public entities for economic development which work with them, have experienced difficulty in raising start-up money for projects of relative risk which are justified both on economic grounds and on grounds of their potential contribution to the welfare of the communities in which they are located; that expanded activity by entrepreneurs and these entities is necessary to the commercial and industrial redevelopment of these communities; and that the problems posed by the decline of these communities is beyond remedy solely through the exercise by government of its regulatory and police power and, because of the greater relative risk, have not been effectively addressed by the operations of private enterprise. The Legislature, therefore, declares that in order to aid in remedying the aforesaid conditions of underemployment and underinvestment as they obtain in certain urban municipalities of the State, and to further the purposes of this act, there shall be created a State fund, under the supervision of the Department of Commerce and Economic Development, to provide direct State financial assistance to local commercial and industrial projects as provided in this act, that the authority and powers conferred hereunder and the expenditure of public moneys as provided herein are in service of a valid public purpose and that the enactment of the provisions hereinafter set forth is in the public interest and for the public benefit and good and is so declared as a matter of express legislative determination.

If the headquarters fails to achieve an employment level of 30,000 new full-time jobs or a capital investment of at least $3,000,000,000 by the 20th year of the incentive agreement, then the business shall not receive any tax credits for an incomplete phase, and for a completed phase, if the total employment achieved is between: (1) 20,000 and 29,999 new full-time jobs, the amount of tax credits shall be reduced to $7,000 per employee per year; (2) 10,000 and 19,999 new full-time jobs, the amount of tax credits shall be reduced to $5,000 per employee per year; and (3) 5,000 and 9,999 new full-time jobs, the amount of tax credits shall be reduced to $3,000 per employee per year. The business shall repay any amount of tax credits allowed prior to the 20th year of the incentive agreement that is in excess of the amount calculated based on the reduced tax credit first by forfeiting any tax credit amounts carried over, pursuant to subsection b. of section 7 of P.L.2017, c.282 (C.34:1B-262), and then by payment of current funds.

While the New Jersey Development Authority for Small Businesses, Minorities' and Women's Enterprises has a peer group micro-lending program in place which targets certain geographical regions of the State, it is imperative that we find new and innovative ways to help unemployed and underemployed individuals throughout the entire State to re-enter the marketplace; and d. Experience in numerous other states and in certain urban areas in New Jersey has shown that "microlending," or carefully underwriting small loans to individual entrepreneurs with well-developed, realistic business plans, has been successful in helping individuals, without regard to geographical location, to start, maintain and expand small businesses.
