A 1117 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises test for employment or independent contractor status under certain State labor laws.

This bill revises New Jersey's test for determining whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor under state labor laws. It eliminates two of the three factors in the current "ABC test" that employers must prove to classify a worker as an independent contractor. Specifically, it removes the requirements that the work must be outside the usual business operations (factor B) and that the worker must be in an independently established trade (factor C). Now, only the "control" factor (whether the worker is free from employer control) will be considered. This change directly affects workers' eligibility for benefits under New Jersey's unemployment compensation, wage payment, and disability laws.
