“New Jersey workers lose out on millions that they are rightfully owed every year due to wage theft. Whether it’s unpaid overtime or stolen tips, wage theft often harms low-paid workers already struggling to get by. The new law signed by Acting Governor Sheila Oliver follows best practices from across the nation and will make New Jersey a national leader in protecting workers from abusive and illegal cost-cutting measures. Tighter enforcement not only benefits workers, but businesses as well, as it levels the playing field for employers who already do the right thing and follow the law.”
