NOTICE TO BUSINESSES PROVIDING TEMPORARY HELP SERVICES On February 6, 2023, Governor Murphy signed into law P.L. 2023, c. 10, also known as the "Temporary Workers' Bill of Rights" ("TWBR"). Among other things, Section 8 of the TWBR prohibits temporary help service firms from making "designated classification placements," as that term is defined in the law, unless they are certified to do so "in accordance with rules" adopted by the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs ("Division"). The Division is working to adopt rules implementing Section 8 of the TWBR, so that it may begin issuing certifications to make designated classification placements.
The rule proposal can be found
here and the comment period closed on October 20, 2023. Until those rules are in place and the Division begins issuing certifications, the certification and accompanying bond are not required to make designated classification placements. Businesses that provide designated classification placements in the interim must continue to comply with all other applicable laws and regulations, including existing registration and licensure requirements and any other applicable provisions of the TWBR.
