The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) has filed a notice of proposal for new proposed rules with the state Office of Administrative Law. The rules would codify the NJDOL’s interpretation of the ABC test for independent contractor status under the New Jersey Unemployment Compensation Law, the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, and the New Jersey Wage Payment law, among other New Jersey laws. The notice of proposal for new rules was published in the May 5, 2025, issue of the New Jersey Register, and there is a 60-day comment period.
