Be advised that effective April 18, 2022, it will become a crime 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.  It will be up to a 4^th degree crime to track employee vehicles without prior written notice and civil penalties of up to $2500 per violation can be issued.  If you track your employee vehicles, we recommend 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.

As always, the Labor and Employment Law Department of Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla stands ready to assist you. Please contact Ari Burd, Jeri Abrams or Jay Becker with any questions.
