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 covered by the earned sick leave law. This change is intended to ensure that the exclusion applies uniformly to all relevant workers in the construction sector.

The bill modifies the definition of "employee" within the law by removing the previous language that specified exclusions for construction workers under contract and inserting new language that specifically identifies employees in the ready-mix concrete industry as excluded. This amendment aims to provide clarity regarding the application of earned sick leave laws to workers in this particular industry. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
