Bill > A4750

This bill expands existing employer reporting requirements in New Jersey to include a broader range of entities that employ or contract with individuals for financial compensation, specifically adding technology platforms like ride-sharing and delivery services to the reporting obligations. The bill requires these entities to report new hires, re-hires, or contracted workers to the state department within 20 days (or every 15 days for electronic submissions), providing details such as the worker's name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number, as well as the employer's or entity's name, address, and federal tax identification number. The reporting is intended to help state agencies operating employment security and workers' compensation programs track workforce data. Entities that fail to report will initially receive a written warning, and subsequent violations can result in civil penalties up to $25 per violation, or $500 if there is evidence of a conspiracy to not report or to provide false information. The bill aims to modernize existing employment reporting laws to reflect the growing gig economy and ensure comprehensive workforce tracking across different types of employment arrangements.
