On Feb. 6, 2023, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law the Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights to establish “necessary guidelines for temporary help service firms and third-party clients to ensure that these workers are afforded basic protections.” 

The Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights brings new employment protections to an estimated 130,000 temporary workers in New Jersey at a time when employers are increasingly turning to staffing firms to outsource job functions and fill gaps in their workforce. The new law imposes onerous requirements on temporary staffing firms as well as the third-party clients that retain such workers. This article summarizes key takeaways from the new law.
