Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 34:11-56, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 34:11-56.
a. It is declared to be the public policy of this State to establish prevailing wage
levels for the employees of contractors and subcontractors furnishing building services
for any property or premises owned or leased by the State in order to safeguard the
efficiency and general well-being of those employees and to protect them and their
employers from the effects of serious and unfair competition based on low wage levels
which are detrimental to efficiency and well-being. b. It is further declared that: In 2018, over 30 million passengers traveled through Newark Liberty International
Airport, making this airport, combined with the Newark Liberty International Airport
Train Station, one of the busiest transit hubs in the country. The workers at the airport and train station often cannot afford employer-provided
healthcare plans, and unaffordable healthcare expenses is one of the sources of the
high rates of turnover for the workers in the airport and train station. Improved retention rates of workers in the airport and train station is an investment
in service and safety for all who pass through the airport and train station and compensating
these workers so that they can afford healthcare and receive a prevailing wage is
a way to increase retention.
