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 establishes that a client company is solely responsible for complying with the reporting requirements related to separations from employment as mandated by R.S.43:21-6. Additionally, the client company will bear sole liability for any penalties incurred due to failure to provide the necessary information concerning these separations, as outlined in R.S.43:21-16.

The new legal language inserted into the bill emphasizes that, despite any conflicting provisions in existing law, the obligations and liabilities concerning employment separations rest entirely with the client company rather than the employee leasing company. This change aims to clarify the delineation of responsibilities between client companies and employee leasing companies, ensuring that client companies are accountable for reporting separations from employment. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
