Bill
A 1379
New Jersey bill prohibits employers from using non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses to restrict workers from discussing wages, working conditions, and employment experiences.
Bill A 1379 would prohibit employers in New Jersey from including non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses in employment contracts that restrict workers from discussing wages, working conditions, or their employment experiences. The bill aims to strengthen employee transparency rights and workplace information sharing.
Non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements can prevent workers from discussing pay equity issues, unsafe conditions, or workplace misconduct with coworkers, regulators, or the public—limiting transparency that often precedes legal action or systemic change. This prohibition could affect hiring practices and contract negotiations across New Jersey, potentially increasing workplace accountability while potentially limiting employers' ability to protect proprietary information or manage public relations.
