This bill amends Section 6 of P.L.2011, c.118 (C.34:8-68.1) to clarify the responsibilities of client companies in employee leasing agreements regarding employment separations. Specifically, it introduces a new provision stating that a client company is solely responsible for complying with reporting requirements related to separations from employment, as outlined in R.S.43:21-6, and is also solely liable for any penalties incurred for failing to provide the necessary information as specified in R.S.43:21-16.

The bill emphasizes that this responsibility lies with the client company, regardless of any contrary provisions in existing law. This change aims to ensure that client companies are held accountable for their reporting obligations concerning employee separations, thereby streamlining the process and clarifying liability in these situations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
