Mask Mandates and Social Distancing:
New Jersey mandates mask-wearing in indoor public spaces for both employees and customers. Employers must enforce social distancing measures, such as maintaining six feet of distance between individuals and limiting capacity in shared spaces. For example, restaurants and retail stores must space out tables and mark floor decals to encourage distancing.
Vaccination Policies:
Employers are encouraged to implement vaccination policies to protect their workforce. While New Jersey does not mandate vaccination for employees, businesses can incentivize and facilitate vaccinations by offering paid time off for vaccine appointments and recovery. Employers may also consider implementing vaccine verification processes for employees returning to the workplace.
Remote Work and Flexible Scheduling:
New Jersey employers should accommodate remote work arrangements whenever possible to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Flexible scheduling options, such as staggered shifts or alternating workdays, can further minimize workplace density. Employers should also provide necessary equipment and resources to support remote work, such as laptops, secure VPN access, and virtual communication tools.
Staying compliant with New Jersey's COVID-19 regulations is crucial for safeguarding the health and well-being of your employees and customers. By adhering to mask mandates, promoting vaccination policies, and implementing remote work options, businesses can mitigate the spread of the virus and contribute to a safer workplace environment.
