This bill amends the existing earned sick leave law in New Jersey to explicitly exclude certain workers in the concrete industry from its provisions. Specifically, it clarifies that employees engaged in the ready-mix concrete industry who are represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes are not entitled to the benefits provided under the earned sick leave law. This amendment aims to ensure that the exclusion applies specifically to this sector within the construction industry.

The bill modifies the definition of "employee" in the context of the earned sick leave law by adding language that specifies the exclusion of those working in the ready-mix concrete industry. The change is intended to provide clarity regarding which workers are covered by the law and to reinforce the existing exclusions for construction workers under collective bargaining agreements. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
