New Jersey now requires employers to provide employees with notice of the legal requirements for employer record-keeping relating to wages, benefits, and taxes under state law. Employers must "conspicuously post notification" in a place accessible to all employees. The posting requirement is satisfied by posting on an Internet or intranet site maintained by the employer for exclusive use by employees, so long as all employees have access to the site.
A copy of the required notice can be found here. The notice also explains what records employers are required to keep.
In addition to immediately posting the notice, employers must immediately begin providing the notice by hard copy or email to employees at time of hire and must provide all existing employees with a copy of the notice (by email or hard copy) by December 7, 2011. Posting on an Internet or intranet site is not sufficient to satisfy this requirement.
Monetary penalties are imposed for failure to comply.
