Expands certain employer reporting requirements to include entities that employ or contract with individuals for financial compensation, including ride-sharing and delivery technology platforms.
This bill expands New Jersey's employer reporting requirements to include ride-sharing, delivery, and other technology platforms that contract with workers for financial compensation. It requires these entities to report employee or contractor details - including name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and their own business information - within 20 days of hiring or rehiring, or every 15 days if reporting electronically. Employers failing to comply face civil penalties of up to $25 per violation (or $500 for intentional false reporting). The law directly affects gig economy platforms and similar entities that classify workers as independent contractors rather than employees.
