"New Jersey Jobs Protection Act"; requires verification of employment.

The New Jersey Jobs Protection Act requires all employers to verify the work authorization of new employees using the federal E-verify system within 90 days of hire. The bill prohibits employers from intentionally or knowingly employing unauthorized aliens, with penalties ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 per unauthorized worker for violations. First-time offenders face a $10,000 fine per unauthorized worker and three years of monitored probation requiring quarterly reporting of E-verify confirmations. Subsequent violations result in higher fines and extended probation periods, while proof of using E-verify creates a rebuttable presumption that employers didn't intentionally employ unauthorized workers.
