New Jersey bill to punish employers who abandon illegal immigrants
TRENTON, NJ– The Senate Labor Committee has recommended the adoption of Senate Bill 2869, which would impose civil penalties on employers who coerce or attempt to coerce workers based on their immigration status.
The May 6 bill provides for increasing fines for violations: They start at a maximum of $1,000 for the first offense, rise to $5,000 for the second offense and reach up to $10,000 for subsequent offenses.
New Jersey’s labor laws provide comprehensive protections for all workers, including immigrants.
The bill is intended to address the reluctance of immigrant workers to report violations because they fear retaliation because of their immigration status. By imposing additional penalties, the bill is intended to deter employers from exploiting these vulnerabilities.
For example, under the bill, an employer who already faces penalties for failure to pay statutory wages under the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law would face additional fines if the employer also threatens an employee based on his or her immigration status to prevent reporting the original wage violation.
This measure underlines the State’s commitment to protecting the rights of all workers, regardless of their origin.
