In addition, the Temporary Workers Bill of Rights covers certain temporary laborers. Some provisions of this law are effective May 7, 2023, while others are effective August 5, 2023. Read the final rules here.

If you believe that your employer has not properly paid you, or you have a complaint against an employer for violating a NJ Labor Law enforced by Wage & Hour, file a wage complaint:

To file anonymously, file by mail or fax. Write “ANONYMOUS” in the name section of the complaint form and leave address blank. You won’t receive information about your complaint or be able to check its status.
