Bill > A5506

This bill modifies existing law regarding the responsibilities of client companies and employee leasing companies by clarifying that in situations involving employee separations, the client company (the business that uses an employee leasing company's workers) is solely responsible for reporting employment separations and will be the only entity liable for any penalties if those reporting requirements are not met. Specifically, the bill amends previous legislation to state that despite any other legal provisions, the client company must comply with reporting requirements related to employee separations as outlined in specific New Jersey statutes (R.S.43:21-6 and R.S.43:21-16), and will bear exclusive responsibility for any penalties if they fail to provide required information about an employee's separation from employment. Employee leasing companies, which typically provide workers to client companies on a temporary or ongoing basis, will no longer share this reporting and penalty liability. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
