New Jersey A1379 prohibits non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts.

New Jersey A1379 amends existing law to bar certain non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts. The bill specifies that any clause waiving rights or remedies related to discrimination, retaliation, or harassment claims is unenforceable. It also removes an exemption for collective bargaining agreements, making these provisions unenforceable in all contracts. However, it allows mediation or arbitration clauses in collectively bargained agreements for such claims. The bill takes effect immediately and applies to all contracts entered into after its effective date.
