S.1688

Prohibits certain non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts.

Introduced·1/9/24

New Jersey S1688 prohibits non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts that conceal details of discrimination.

New Jersey S1688 amends existing law to make non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts unenforceable if they conceal details of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment claims. This includes prohibiting agreements that waive substantive or procedural rights or remedies related to such claims. The bill also mandates that settlement agreements include a notice stating that confidentiality provisions are unenforceable if the employee publicly reveals sufficient details of the claim.
