Township of Irvington manages paid sick leave compliance with WorkforceHub’s 90-day grace period and 40-hour accrual tracking

The Township of Irvington, New Jersey, faced the challenge of complying with its complex 2015 Paid Sick Leave Ordinance, which mandated specific accrual rates, usage rules, and record-keeping requirements for all private-sector employers with workers in the city. The challenge was compounded for businesses operating in multiple New Jersey municipalities, each with its own similar but potentially conflicting sick leave laws. To address this, Irvington utilized guidance and the WorkforceHub suite of services from vendor SwipeClock to help local businesses manage their compliance.

The solution implemented by SwipeClock involved providing its automated workforce management and time tracking tools through WorkforceHub. This system automatically tracked employee hours worked within specific city limits, calculated sick leave accrual according to the precise local ordinances, maintained effortless long-term records, and reported accruals to employees. The results for businesses using WorkforceHub included streamlined compliance, reduced administrative burden, and a significantly lowered risk of violations and the associated penalties of up to $1,000 per infraction. By using SwipeClock's geo-timekeeping and automated systems, companies could ensure accurate record-keeping and avoid fines.
