The NJ state legislature is now considering significant reforms or temp agency workers. In May 2019, Assembly Bill 5246 was referred to the Assembly Labor Committee and would:
- Notify temp workers of the agency’s billing rate for their labor;
- Provide written notice to temp workers with details about their job, pay, hours, and safety requirements;
- Establishes a minimum of 4 hours pay for every daily assignment
- Eliminate agency fees for transportation, check cashing, credit reports, or drug tests of any kind;
- Cap non-compete and conversion fees prior to 60 days;
- Eliminate non-compete and conversion fees after 60 days;
- Track temp-to-perm conversions at each agency;
- Track demographic information of temp workers and job applicants to monitor for discrimination; and
- Protect temp workers from retaliation for exercising their rights.
