Under the Service Employee Retention Law, P.L. 2023, c. 128, subject to certain limited exceptions, when an employer becomes the successor to a service contract at a covered location, the successor employer must give each service employee who was performing work for the predecessor employer at the covered location a written offer of employment and, if that offer is accepted, must retain the service employee at the covered location for 60 days or until the successor employer’s service contract is terminated, whichever is earlier.

Following is a link to the form that the successor employer must use to offer employment to affected service employees.

The New Jersey Service Employee Retention Law is viewable pending publication here. The law contains definitions for the terms "employer," "service employee," "service contract," and "covered location."

The Service Employee Retention Law is not enforced by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL). If you believe that you have been fired or laid off in violation of the Service Employee Retention Law, you have the right to file a private lawsuit in court, and, if successful, the court may order your reinstatement, and may award you back pay, liquidated damages, court costs and attorney’s fees. Information about how to file a private lawsuit can be found here.
