ATTENTION EMPLOYEES
New Jersey requires all State employees to submit their proof of vaccination or submit to regular testing.
Employees who have not submitted proof of vaccination and also do not comply with the testing process will be subject to disciplinary action. Repeated failure to comply can lead to termination.
Further, vaccinated employees who do not submit proof of vaccination in lieu of weekly testing will also be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Employees that have not received a test kit yet should alert their direct supervisor.
If you are fully vaccinated but have not yet submitted proof, follow the instructions below:
- Sending an email with proof of vaccination, from your @NJTRANSIT address, to COVIDVAXProof@njtransit.com.
- In the subject line, you must put your name and 6 digit employee ID number.
- Attach a copy of your vaccination proof to your email (CDC card, screenshot from the Docket app, NJIIS vaccination record, etc.).
- Send proof of vaccination as an attachment, do not embed the image in the body of the email. To attach your file, you must first click the “paperclip” icon in Outlook and then navigate to your verification document. Our automated system does not register any information or attachment in the body of your email.
- Do not send vaccine proof emails to Medical Services or Safety, as it will not be fed to the ECMS data system. It must go to the COVIDVAXProof@njtransit.com email.
- Only employees who have received both doses of the vaccine and are fully vaccinated should submit proof of vaccination. All other employees are still required to undergo regular testing.
For any COVID-19-related question, please call our hotline at 1-888-890-0729
If you received your vaccination through any internal NJ TRANSIT clinic, you still must submit your proof using the protocol above.
For employees who are undergoing regular testing:
- Make sure to carefully follow the instructions contained in the test kit. There is no cost to employees for testing.
- The employee/donor must do a virtual visit with Vault via Zoom for collection.
- Bus operations personnel may drop off sealed tests at their work location.
- Everyone else must drop off their specimen in a UPS drop box, including UPS drop boxes in HQ or the GOB. Tests are not to be returned to Medical or Safety. This will only delay the time it takes for the specimen to get to the lab, be tested and results reported.
- If you received a testing kit in error, return the kit to your supervisor. Supervisors should maintain the inventory in the event that someone needs a test kit and did not receive one.
- Employees who refuse vaccination, or have been medically excused from vaccination, are still required to test weekly.
- Employees who are out on disability, workers comp., extended leave of absence, suspended or any other circumstance whereby one will not be in the office for more than one week, are not required to test. You will require a test when returning to work.
Employees with questions regarding NJ TRANSIT’s COVID-19 testing process should contact our testing provider, VAULT, directly. Employees can either email VAULT or call 212-880-5494. Please tell VAULT you are an employee of the State of New Jersey, so its team can direct you accordingly.
Below are updated VAULT testing hours:
- Sunday – Thursday: 8am-8pm
- Friday and Saturday: 8am-6pm
- CLOSED Christmas Day
Employees who are not yet vaccinated can make an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination with NJT Medical Services or find a provider through NJ COVID-19 Vaccine Finder at https://covid19.nj.gov/
