New Jersey A3416 establishes workplace policies on employees' right to disconnect from work during nonworking hours.

New Jersey A3416 mandates that employers create policies allowing employees to disconnect from work communications during nonworking hours, defined as times before and after an employee's scheduled work hours. This right to disconnect can be overridden only in emergencies or for scheduling changes within 24 hours. Employers must agree on nonworking hours with employees in writing. Employees can file complaints about repeated violations with the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, who can impose fines of at least $100 for a pattern of violations.
