A5276

Clarifies overtime compensation requirements for certain public employees engaged in law enforcement and fire protection activities.

The bill amends the New Jersey minimum wage law to clarify overtime compensation requirements for public employees engaged in law enforcement and fire protection activities. It defines "employee in fire protection activities" as those trained in fire suppression, with legal authority to engage in fire suppression, and employed by a fire department. The bill ensures compliance with the "Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938" and sets minimum wage rates, with adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.
