New Jersey Launches Employer Response Portal

New Jersey requires employers to report every employee separation to the state’s Department of Labor (NJDOL) through the portal within seven days of a worker’s separation, whether due to layoff, termination, resignation, or retirement. Employers should not wait for the former worker to file an unemployment claim, as the NJDOL has stated it uses employer-reported data to expedite unemployment benefits decisions and reduce delays. Company personnel who are involved with unemployment claims should be aware of the reporting deadline and have portal access.
