New Jersey § 34:11-56a16

§ 34:11-56a16.

Within 10 days after the hearing the commissioner shall confer with the director and

approve or disapprove the report of the wage board. If the report is disapproved the commissioner may resubmit the matter to the same

wage board or to a new wage board. If the report is approved, the commissioner shall make a wage order which shall

define minimum fair wage rates in the occupation or occupations as recommended in

the report of the wage board and which shall include such proposed administrative

regulations as the commissioner may deem appropriate to supplement the report of the

wage board and to safeguard the minimum fair wage standards established. Such administrative regulations may include among other things, regulations defining

and governing learners and apprentices, their rates, number, proportion or length

of service; piece rates or their relations to time rates; overtime or part-time

rates, bonuses or special pay for special or extra work; deductions for board, lodging,

apparel or other items or services supplied by the employer; and other special conditions

or circumstances excluding gratuities; and in view of the diversities and complexities

of different occupations and the dangers of evasion and nullification, the commissioner

may provide in such regulations without departing from the basic minimum rates recommended

by the wage board such modifications or reductions of or addition to such rates in

or for such special cases or classes of cases as those herein enumerated as the commissioner

may find appropriate to safeguard the basic minimum rates established. Said wage order shall take effect upon expiration of 180 days from the date of the

issuance of the order.
