Report Link New Jersey Minimum Wage Advisory Commission Seeks Public Comments On The Adequacy Of The Minimum Wage.Ogletree Deakins - August 05, 2008 From now until September 7, 2008, the New Jersey Minimum Wage Advisory Commission is seeking written, public comments concerning the adequacy of New Jersey’s minimum wage. The Commission annually evaluates the adequacy of the state’s minimum wage, and then makes a formal recommendation to the Legislature as to whether any minimum wage increase is necessary. Report Link New Jersey Legislature Declines To Increase State Minimum Wage.Ogletree Deakins - August 05, 2008 The New Jersey Legislature declined to increase the state minimum wage from $7.15 per hour before ending its session for the extended summer recess, despite a strong December 21, 2007 recommendation by the State of New Jersey Minimum Wage Advisory Commission that the state minimum wage be immediately increased to $8.25 per hour (the poverty threshold wage for a three-person family in 2007). Report Link New Jersey Supreme Court Holds Deferred Compensation Plans with Forfeiture Provisions Lawful.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - July 10, 2008 On June 25, 2008, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued its decision in Melvin Rosen v. Smith Barney, Inc. (A-49-07), holding that deferred compensation plans with vesting periods and forfeiture provisions do not violate New Jersey's wage and hour law or public policy. Report Link Deferred Compensation Plan Lawful Under State Wage and Hour Law Despite Forfeiture Provision.Ogletree Deakins - July 03, 2008 Rosen v. Smith Barney, Inc., A-49-07, (N.J. June 25, 2008) — A voluntary deferred compensation plan, in which employees’ contributions from their wages were invested in company stock purchased at a discount, does not violate the State Wage and Hour Law’s restriction on deductions from employees’ wages, despite the fact that the plan provided for a forfeiture of unvested stock interests if the employees terminated their employment during the two year vesting period after the stock purchase. Report Link Assembly Considers Mandatory Employee Meal And Break Periods.Ogletree Deakins - June 09, 2008 On May 12, a bill (A2629) was introduced that would modify the State Wage and Hour Law to require employers to provide an unpaid meal period of at least 30 minutes to all employees who work for more than six hours continuously, and at least a 15 minute paid rest break to employees who work for more than four hours continuously. Report Link Bills Introduced To Limit Public Employees' Ability To Collect And Use Accumulated Sick And Vacation Leave.Ogletree Deakins - June 09, 2008 Several bills (A2583, A1441, and A2581) were introduced in May that, if passed, would limit the ability of public employees to use or receive the entire cash equivalent of their accrued but unused vacation or sick leave in advance of, or upon, retirement. Report Link New Jersey Confirms That General Managers of Chain Restaurants are Executive Employees Who are Exempt from Overtime.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - September 14, 2005 In a case with major significance for multi-unit restaurants and, in all likelihood, for retailers generally, the New Jersey Appellate Division, in its August 31, 2005, decision in Marx v. Friendly Ice Cream Corp., No. A-6105-03TI (N.J. App. Div. 2005), held that general managers of individual restaurants in a chain of stores can be treated as executive employees and are not entitled to overtime pay. The ruling, which upheld the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint, is a case of first impression in New Jersey and joins a limited number of federal and state court decisions which have upheld employers’ rights to treat such employees as exempt. Report Link New Jersey Raises Minimum Wage.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 25, 2005 On April 12, 2005, Acting Governor Richard J. Codey signed a bill into law which will increase New Jersey’s minimum hourly wage to $7.15 over the next two years.
