Affordable Employee Training Exclusively for NJBIA Members LEARN MORE

On Monday, the state Senate narrowly passed legislation that NJBIA says will result in burdensome requirements, and possibly lawsuits, on temporary staffing agencies and the third-party companies that utilize them.

One provision in bill A-1474/S-511, requires temporary workers to receive the same compensation and benefits as their equivalent employee counterparts.

Other business impacts on the bill can be found here.

The 21-15 vote came after a previously unplanned Senate resolution vote to allow members to remotely attend and vote during the session, a good indication that there may have not been enough votes in person to advance the bill to Gov. Phil Murphy’s desk.
