NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR SIGNS LAW PROTECTING PEOS

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed A5506/S.3773 into law. NAPEO and many of our members championed this legislation to protect PEOs in the Garden State. The law amends another statute (P.L. 2022, c.120) that requires employers to notify the New Jersey Department of Labor “immediately and simultaneously” when an employee is separated from their employer. Our legislation provides important protections for PEOs by moving liability and penalties from a PEO to a client company for failure to provide timely notice. The Governor’s action represents the very best of our advocacy efforts. We greatly appreciate everyone who pitched in on this effort to ensure the PEO voice was heard in Trenton!
