Expands certain employer reporting requirements to include entities that employ or contract with individuals for financial compensation, including ride-sharing and delivery technology platforms.
This bill expands New Jersey's existing employer reporting requirements to include ride-sharing, delivery, and other technology platforms that contract with workers for pay. It requires these entities to report worker details (name, address, date of birth, Social Security number) and their own business information to the state within 20 days of hiring or rehiring, or every 15 days if reporting electronically. Failure to comply results in civil penalties of up to $25 per violation, or $500 for intentional false reporting. The law applies to all employers and contractors paying workers in New Jersey, including those using Form 1099 for compensation.
