The quick advance of a previously-vetoed New Jersey bill meant to police pay disparity among men and women continued Thursday as the Assembly Appropriations Committee unanimously approved it with little discussion.
A-1 would prohibit unequal pay for “substantially similar” work under the Law Against Discrimination; require a different rate of compensation be justified by factors other than sex; restart the statute of limitations for each instance of discrimination; prohibit employer retaliation against an employee for disclosing or discussing compensation; and require transparency in state contracting.
