The New Jersey Jobs Protection Act requires all employers to verify the employment eligibility of new hires using the federal E-verify system within ninety days of hire. Employers found to knowingly employ unauthorized aliens face escalating penalties, including fines and probation. The act aims to protect legal residents from unfair competition and preserve the state's unemployment insurance fund. Employers must file quarterly reports during probation periods, and the Attorney General maintains a database of employers with violations.
