Modifies training wage for certain minor employees in New Jersey.

This bill modifies the training wage for certain minor employees in New Jersey. It allows employers to pay a training wage of not less than two-thirds of the minimum wage to employees aged 14 to 16 for the first 120 hours of work in an occupation with no prior experience. The minimum wage for farm employees will increase annually based on the Consumer Price Index. Trucking industry employers must pay at least the minimum wage. The bill also includes provisions for political subdivisions to set higher wage standards for vendors and subcontractors.
