Governor Murphy Signs Historic, Sweeping Equal Pay Legislation

Equal Pay for Equal Work Now Law in New Jersey

Trenton – Fulfilling his commitment to fight gender inequity and support equal pay for women in New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy today signed into law the most sweeping equal pay legislation in America. The Diane B. Allen Equal Pay Act, named for former State Senator Diane Allen who herself was a victim of bias, strengthens protections against employment discrimination and promotes equal pay for all groups protected by the Law Against Discrimination (LAD).

“From our first day in Trenton, we acted swiftly to support equal pay for women in the workplace and begin closing the gender wage gap,” said Governor Murphy. “Today, we are sending a beacon far and wide to women across the Garden State and in America – the only factors to determine a worker’s wages should be intelligence, experience and capacity to do the job. Pay equity will help us in building a stronger, fairer New Jersey.”
