This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses New Jersey bill A4188, signed into law by Governor Chris Christie on October 16, 2013. Bill A4188 clarifies that, in addition to the usual new hire reporting requirements, employers also must report any other employee they hire to work in New Jersey who was not previously employed by the employer or was previously employed by the employer but has been separated from the prior employment for at least 60 consecutive days. To aid in preventing payments to ineligible individuals, the new law also requires the State Department of Human Services to share the reported information with New Jersey's unemployment insurance and workers' compensation agencies and other appropriate federal and state agencies.
