2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 29 - Hotels|Section 29:4-9 - Findings, declarations relative to the protection of hotel employees.

29:4-9 Findings, declarations relative to the protection of hotel employees.  1. The Legislature finds and declares that the hospitality industry is a profitable and vital component of the State's economy, and that hotel employees play a significant role in providing hospitality services to tourists and other guests at hotels throughout the State. Due to the unique nature of hotel work, hotel employees are particularly vulnerable when working alone in hotel guest rooms, which sometimes may be occupied. This solitary work places them at risk of assault, including sexual assault, and sexual harassment. However, some hotel employers have not adequately addressed the safety concerns of hotel employees. Many hotel employees are marginalized members of society with limited means to support themselves and their families, and without adequate support, may feel intimidated to report inappropriate and criminal conduct for fear of repercussions or retaliation from their employers. It is appropriate and necessary to protect hotel employees from violent acts, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, or other inappropriate or criminal conduct to which they may be subjected while performing their duties. L.2019, c.123, s.1.
