Establishes "Business Growth Protection Act"; revises law concerning temporary help service firms and temporary laborers.
This bill, the "Business Growth Protection Act," establishes new requirements for temporary help service firms in New Jersey that place workers in designated occupational categories. It requires firms to maintain detailed records of temporary laborers' hours and pay, provide itemized wage statements, and obtain state certification. The law revises pay equity requirements to ensure temporary workers are paid at least the third party client's entry-level rate for similar positions, and reduces the surety bond requirement from $200,000 to a minimum of $50,000. It also limits coverage to temporary workers performing work within New Jersey, addressing concerns that previous coverage of out-of-state work was causing businesses to reduce use of New Jersey temporary workers.
