Since his inauguration, Governor Phil Murphy signed several pieces of social legislation into law. For example, Governor Murphy signed the New Jersey Earned Sick Leave Law which requires employers in this State to provide 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked up to a total of 40 hours.
The law took effect October 29, 2018. The law requires employers to allow workers to take earned sick leave for their own illness, to attend a school-related event for their children, to care for other family members when they are ill and even to recover from or to deal with domestic violence situations. .https://nj.gov/labor/wagehour/lawregs/wage_and_hour_laws.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Additionally, the Governor signed an extension of the New Jersey Paid Family Leave Law. The law extended the time a worker may receive paid family leave from 6 weeks at about $630 per week to 12 weeks at up to 85% of the worker’s salary up to $862 per week. Only workers contribute to the fund established for the purpose of paid family leave.
I’m working on a business law question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Question 1
Jill Masterson hired Benjamin Heard as the chief salesperson of International Commodities Co. The term of the employment was from January 4 to July 4. Benjamin’s work was superb, and he was on the verge of completing a very sizable sales order—and a sizable commission to go with it—when Masterson fired him on April 21 without notice. Can Benjamin complete this sale? Please discuss.
Question 2
Clifford Taylor, real estate entrepreneur in Indianapolis, owned a number of empty lots suitable for development within the city. He hired Drew Miller a real estate agent to sell one his lot for $750,000 within the next 30 days. Miller was to receive a 5% commission if he completed the sale.
The day following his appointment, Miller visited the office of Thomas Kinkaid. Kinkaid, a real estate developer, was willing to pay as much as $850,000 for the vacant lot, but promised to pay Miller a bonus of $25,000 if he could arrange for the sale of the lot for $750,000. Miller agreed.
The vacant lot was sold for $750,000. Taylor, however, refused to pay Miller the 5% commission and Kinkaid refused to pay the $25,000 bonus. Miller is now suing both Taylor and Kinkaid. What would be the result of this lawsuit? Please discuss.
Question 3
Joseph Sinclair was a lower-level administrator of the Wheeling Pennsylvania Power Co. He received a temporary assignment to the Unpaid customer department. His new assignment called for him to turn off power to customers who had not paid their power bill for four months.
One of the customers on his delinquent customer list was the American Salmon Farm Fishery. The Salmon Farm Fishery informed Sinclair that it was not delinquent in paying their power bill, but Sinclair turned off the power. This was done at a critical period in the incubation of new salmon, and the entire batch was destroyed. Salmon Farm Fishery sued Sinclair for $54,000, won the judgment, and Sinclair paid. Sinclair is now suing the Power company. What result? Please discuss.
The workers’ contributions will increase slightly to .012 percent of salary on income up to $124000.00. Employers with 30 or fewer workers are exempt from the law’s requirements.
For our second Forum please discuss whether you believe the government should require employers to offer their workers paid sick leave. If so, why? If not, why not? Notice that the Earned Sick Leave Law does not exempt smaller businesses such as in the Paid Family Leave Law. Should small businesses be exempt from the Earned Sick Leave law? Why or why not? Please consider the same questions for the Paid Family Leave Law. Should the government require employers to allow workers to take time off for the care of a sick family member? Should the government require, for this program, a payroll deduction from workers? If so, why? If not, why not. Should either law apply to employers with fewer than 30 workers? If so, why? If not, why not?
