Effective July 31, New Jersey’s Unemployment Compensation Law (the Law) will require new reporting requirements and feature other notable changes for employers.
Changes to the Law will require employers to submit post-termination notification to the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development (NJ DOL) (independent from and not triggered by an employee’s claim for unemployment benefits). The employer must do this – “immediately and simultaneously” – by electronic means; and must submit the Form BC-10 (Instructions for Claiming Unemployment Benefits) to both the separated employee and the NJ DOL.
