Regarding Executive Order 192 – Requirements for Association’s In-Person Workforce

On October 28th, 2020 Governor Murphy issued Executive Order 192 (2020) (the “Order”), setting forth requirements every business, non-profit, and governmental or educational entity in the State must follow if they require or permit the workforce to be physically present at a worksite. These requirements are intended to aid the protection of employees, residents, and others who may come into contact with the workforce. Since most community associations are created as non-profit corporations, this Order would directly affect them, as well as cooperatives that are created as general corporations of the state. Much of what is in the Order is simply good practices in connection with Covid-19 prevention and boards would be wise to ensure all the requirements are met.
