Introduced Text

New Jersey S2887 ensures volunteer and other workers receive maximum compensation for injuries or deaths regardless of outside employment.

New Jersey S2887 amends the state's workers' compensation law to guarantee that certain volunteer and other workers, including firefighters and first aid or rescue squad workers, receive the maximum compensation benefit for any injury or death, irrespective of their employment status outside of their volunteer roles. This change responds to a State Supreme Court ruling and aims to clarify the compensation entitlement for these workers.
