New Jersey A1812 mandates minimum wage for minors and overtime pay under specific conditions, while codifying certain overtime exemptions.
New Jersey A1812 amends the "New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law" to ensure that all minors receive the minimum wage, removing previous exceptions. It also requires overtime pay for minors working more than 40 hours a week, except during summer months when up to 50 hours are allowed. The bill codifies exemptions for certain categories of employees, including those in seasonal amusement occupations and apprentices. It maintains the state's ability to set a minimum wage higher than the federal rate and adjusts the minimum wage incrementally based on the consumer price index.
