Assemblywoman Shama A. Haider, who was born and raised in Pakistan, where she attended the University of Punjab and emigrated to the United States in 1977, introduced the measure to limit gender-based questions and protect applicants from potential discrimination.
The bill would make it illegal for employers to include questions about gender on job applications or to ask about it during initial interviews. Under the proposal, employers could only request gender information after the first interview stage and only when required to comply with state or federal reporting rules. Violations would carry fines of up to $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second, and $10,000 for subsequent violations, enforceable by the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development.
The measure would cover public and private employers operating in New Jersey with at least 15 employees for 20 weeks or more per year. It also includes job placement agencies, labor organizations, and government entities at the state and local level.

An Emigrant is leaving their home country. They then become an Immigrant as they move to enter another country

ReplyDeleteJoe, what is in the New Jersey water? Are 99% of the people nuts (demorats)? I know that's not true it's probably just that they know how to fix elections, like their neighbor PA.
