Is it true that an employer must allow you to work with the Temporary Certificate while the NJ State Police is processing your application?

The assertion that an employer must allow an employee to work with a Temporary Certificate while the NJ State Police is processing the application is false. Under the Security Officer Registration Act (SORA), a Temporary Certificate is issued to a security officer that allows them to begin working while they await the full certification. However, this is at the employer's discretion. If the employer chooses to allow someone to work under a Temporary Certificate, they may do so, but they are not obligated to permit work under those conditions.

This means that while the Temporary Certificate allows for employment during the processing period, the law does not mandate that employers must allow it. Employers have the right to determine their hiring and working policies within the legal framework. Hence, while some employers may have policies in place that allow for working while waiting for full certification, it is not a requirement, making the answer "False" accurate in this context.
