Under the new rules, existing employees and new hires must be provided with a written copy of the notice. Employers must provide a written copy of the notice for existing employees by December 7, 2011.
Employees hired after November 7, 2011 must be provided with a written copy of the notice at the time of their hiring. In both cases, attaching the notice to an e-mail satisfies the written notice requirement.
The Notice includes contact information for New Jersey State representatives who are available to provide employees with information or to facilitate their filing of complaints regarding an employer's alleged failure to meet the requirements of these statutes.
Employers risk fines up to $1,000 for failing to comply with the notice and posting requirements, in addition to potential criminal penalties.
This notice follows on the heels of last year's new legislation imposing stricter penalties - including the loss of operating licenses - for New Jersey employers who repeatedly fail to comply with the State's wage, benefit and tax laws.
