Proposed Regulations Published For Independendent Contractors

The head of New Jersey's workers' compensation division will soon begin issuing stop-work orders against contractors for misrepresenting employee headcounts under a bill A3569.
Proposed Regulations for A3569 were published in the New Jersey Register on November 1st 2010. The bill was sponsored by Assemblyman Joseph V. Egan (D-New Brunswick), who is deputy majority leader and chair of the Assembly Labor Committee, and Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D-Union) and signed into law by former Gov. Jon Corzine.

The change in the law will empower the Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation to issue a stop-work order against contractors that under count their employees or misclassify an employees status as an independent contractor, in order to avoid workers' compensation premiums. The law will apply even if the employers statements and or actions were made in error.
Any stop-work orders issued by the director would affect All Locations And Job Sites For The Contractor, and would be issued no later than three days after the violations were found. Violations of the Act is an indictable Crime of the 4th Degree felony offense. Read More
