LAW REQUIRING NOTICE OF EMPLOYEE VEHICLE TRACKING
TAKES EFFECT APRIL 18, 2022
Be advised that effective April 18, 2022, it will become a civil penalty for employers in New Jersey to electronically track vehicles driven by their employees unless written notice of the tracking is provided.
This applies to both vehicles provided by the employer and employee-owned vehicles merely used by the employee for work purposes.
An employer who knowingly uses a tracking device in a vehicle used by an employee without providing written notice to the employee is subject to a civil penalty of not more than $1,000 for the first violation and not more than $2,500 for each subsequent violation.
If you track your employee vehicles, it is recommended that you provide written notice to your employees ASAP. The easiest way to do this would be to amend your employee handbook and provide notice of the amendment, in writing, to all of your employees. You may also want to consult with your company attorney as well.
