Employment law obligations can change as your business grows. A law that does not apply when you have five employees may become important when you reach a different employee threshold. Our Major Employment Laws by Employer Size chart gives New Jersey and New York business owners an easy way to identify many of the federal and state employment laws that may apply based on the size of their workforce. Use the chart as a starting point to better understand your obligations, anticipate requirements that may apply as you hire, and identify areas where your employment practices may need a closer look.
Is Your Worker Properly Classified Under New Jersey Law?
Calling someone an independent contractor does not necessarily make them one. New Jersey uses a specific legal test to determine whether a worker may properly be classified as an independent contractor. Our free Employee vs. Independent Contractor Classification Workbook walks you through the factors New Jersey considers and helps you take a closer look at your working relationship before making a classification decision. Use the workbook to better understand the classification requirements, identify potential concerns, and determine whether your worker's status may need a closer legal review.
