Episode 36: Spotlight on the NJ Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights

Although we typically focus on federal policy in this podcast, in a nod to our system of federalism, this episode takes a look into policy on the state level, specifically the sweeping New Jersey Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights. This new law carries a host of new requirements for staffing firms and employers, and could set a precedent for similar policies in other states, and eventually, Congress. Nick Lussier joins host Scott Mallery to discuss the details of what the new law entails and what it means for clients, including the practical difficulties of complying with the same.
