New Jersey A5502, the "Fair Wage Protection Act," prohibits using wage setting algorithms that rely on surveillance data to determine wages.

New Jersey A5502, the "Fair Wage Protection Act," aims to protect workers by prohibiting the use of wage setting algorithms that rely on surveillance data. Surveillance wage setting involves using algorithms that analyze data related to personal characteristics, online behaviors, or biometrics to set wages. The act mandates that employers disclose the data considered by wage setting algorithms and how these algorithms use the data. It also requires employers to develop and publish procedures for workers to request, correct, or challenge the data used.
