New NJ Requirement To Post Long Notice Form And To Provide It To Employees

The New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development (DOL) recently issued a regulation that requires New Jersey employers to post an long Notice Form (6 pages) about employer record-keeping and reporting requirements and state offices that employees can contact concerning possible employer violations. The law also requires employers to provide the Notice Form to existing employees and to new employees. 

The new regulation is already in effect, so if you have not already posted the Notice Form, post it now. The Notice Form is to be posted in a place or places accessible to all employees in each of the employer's workplaces. A copy of the Notice Form can be found Here

For employees hired after November 7, 2011, a copy of the Notice Form is to be provided to the employee at the time of hiring. For other employees, the Notice Form must be provided to them not later than December 7, 2011. 

If your company has an internet site or intranet site for exclusive use of your company's employees and if all of your company's employees have access to the site, your company can post the Notice Form on the internet or intranet site to comply with the posting requirement. Posting on one of those sites does not, however, comply with the requirement that each employee be provided a copy of the Notice Form. Your company can, however, comply with the requirement to give the Notice Form to the employee, if your company provides the Notice Form to the employee by email. 

Companies with workplaces outside of New Jersey may not have to post the notices in the non-New Jersey workplaces and may not have to provide the notices to non-New Jersey employees.
