New Jersey Jobs Protection Act mandates employment eligibility verification via E-verify for all new hires.

The New Jersey Jobs Protection Act requires employers to use the federal E-verify system to check the employment eligibility of new hires within 90 days of hire. Employers found to have knowingly employed unauthorized aliens face escalating penalties, including fines and probation. The act aims to protect legal residents from unfair competition, preserve the state's unemployment fund, and deter illegal employment practices. Employers who comply with E-verify have a rebuttable presumption of not knowingly employing unauthorized aliens.
