New Jersey § 34:8d-3

§ 34:8d-3.

a. Whenever a temporary help service firm agrees to send a person to work as a temporary

laborer in a designated classification placement, the temporary help service firm

shall provide the temporary laborer, at the time of dispatch, a statement, in writing

in English and in the language identified by the employee as the employee's primary

language, containing the following items on a form approved by the commissioner, in

a manner appropriate to whether the assignment is accepted at the temporary help service

firm's office, or remotely by telephone, text, email, or other electronic exchange: (1) the name of the temporary laborer; (2) the name, address, and telephone number of: (a) the temporary help service firm, or the contact information of the firm's agent

facilitating the placement; (b) its workers' compensation carrier; (c) the worksite employer or third party client; and (d) the Department of Labor and Workforce Development; (3) the name and nature of the work to be performed; (4) the wages offered; (5) the name and address of the assigned worksite of each temporary laborer; (6) the terms of transportation offered to the temporary laborer, if applicable; (7) a description of the position and whether it shall require any special clothing,

protective equipment, and training, and what training and clothing will be provided

by the temporary help service firm or the third party client; and any licenses and

any costs charged to the employee for supplies or training; (8) whether a meal or equipment, or both, are provided, either by the temporary help

service firm or the third party client, and the cost of the meal and equipment, if

any; (9) for multi-day assignments, the schedule; (10) the length of the assignment, if known; and (11) the amount of sick leave to which temporary workers are entitled under P.L.2018, c. 10 ( C.34:11D-1 et seq. ), and the terms of its use. In the event of a change in the schedule, shift, or location of an assignment for

a multi-day assignment of a temporary laborer in a designated classification placement,

the temporary help service firm shall provide notice of the change not less than 48

hours in advance to the temporary laborer, when possible, in a manner appropriate

to whether the assignment is accepted at the temporary help service firm's office,

or remotely by telephone, text, email, or other electronic exchange. The temporary help service firm shall bear the burden of showing that it was not

possible to provide the required notice. In the event that the commissioner imposes a civil penalty under subsection d. of

this section and the temporary help service firm requests a hearing to challenge the

penalty, any dispute concerning whether it was possible for the temporary help service

firm to provide the required notice shall be adjudicated during that hearing. If a temporary laborer in a designated classification placement is assigned to the

same assignment for more than one day, the temporary help service firm shall be required

to provide the employment notice only on the first day of the assignment and on any

day that any of the terms listed on the employment notice are changed. If the temporary laborer is not placed with a third party client or otherwise contracted

to work for that day, the temporary help service firm shall, upon request, provide

the temporary laborer with a confirmation that the temporary laborer sought work,

signed by an employee of the temporary help service firm, which shall include the

name of the firm, the name and address of the temporary laborer, and the date and

the time that the temporary laborer receives the confirmation. b. No temporary help service firm shall send any temporary laborer to any designated

classification placement where a strike, a lockout, or other labor dispute exists

without providing, at the time of dispatch, a statement, in writing, informing the

temporary laborer of the labor dispute, and the laborer's right to refuse the assignment. c. Temporary help service firms that make designated classification placements shall

make available, whether through its own employees or the service of a vendor, personnel

to effectively communicate the information required in subsections a. and b. of this

section to temporary laborers in Spanish or in any other language that is generally

understood in the locale of the temporary help service firm. d. Any temporary help service firm that makes designated classification placements

and that violates this section shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than

$500 and not to exceed $1,000 for each violation found by the commissioner. That penalty shall be collected by the commissioner in a summary proceeding in accordance

with the “Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999,” P.L.1999, c. 274 ( C.2A:58-10 et seq. ). e. The commissioner, in consultation with the Office of the New Americans within the

Department of Human Services, shall develop and implement a multilingual outreach

program to inform temporary laborers in a designated classification placement about

their rights pursuant to P.L.2023, c. 10 ( C.34:8D-1 et al.). The program shall develop written materials in various languages based on the 10

most prevalent language access needs in the State, and may periodically reevaluate

the language access needs and adjust translation efforts accordingly. The program shall include the distribution of written materials to qualifying organizations

who work with temporary workers in a designated classification placement, and shall

engage in regular outreach to these organizations to determine how the commissioner

can better inform temporary laborers of their rights. For purposes of this subsection, qualifying organizations are organizations that

have a minimum of five years of experience working with temporary laborers or hiring

entities, and organizations that work with nonprofit organizations that have a minimum

of five years of experience working with temporary laborers or hiring entities.
