New Jersey Department of Labor Issues Mandatory Misclassification Poster

In January of this year, New Jersey enacted a package of laws designed to root out and punish misclassification of employees as independent contractors. One of those laws, N.J.S.A. 34:1A-1.19, which went into effect on April 1, 2020, requires all New Jersey employers to post a notice regarding employee misclassification, in a form issued by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL). In May 2020, the NJDOL issued the required notice, which all New Jersey employers must post in a place or places accessible to all employees, in each of the employer’s workplaces within the state.
