New Jersey’s employment law landscape has shifted significantly. As we reported earlier this year, former Governor Phil Murphy signed into law Assembly Bill 3451, effective July 17, 2026, which vastly expands New Jersey workers’ job protections.

For employers across New Jersey, particularly smaller businesses, the implications are substantial and require immediate action.
