New Jersey Administrative Code
Title 12 - LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Chapter 69 - EARNED SICK LEAVE RULES
Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 12:69-1.12 - Applicability of N.J.S.A. 34:1A-1.11 et seq
P.L. 2018, c. 10, section 5, states that any failure of an employer to make available or pay earned sick leave as required by the Act, or any other violation of the Act, shall be regarded as a failure to meet the wage payment requirements of the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, N.J.S.A. 34:11-56aet seq. Consequently, a violation of the Act would be considered a violation of a "State wage, benefit and tax law," as that term is defined within N.J.S.A. 34:1A-1.11, thereby empowering the Commissioner on the basis of a violation of the Act, under the provisions of N.J.S.A. 34:1A-1.11et seq., and the conditions set forth therein, to issue, where appropriate, a written determination directing an agency to suspend or permanently revoke any one or more licenses that are held by the employer or a successor firm.
