Establishment of the Task Force on Employee Misclassification
Issued: May 3, 2018.
Effective: May 3, 2018.
WHEREAS, all workers in New Jersey should receive fair compensation and workplace protections based on the nature of the work they perform; and
WHEREAS, there are well-established legal standards that clearly differentiate between an "employee" and an "independent contractor," a distinction that carries significant legal and practical ramifications; and
WHEREAS, the misclassification of employees as independent contractors deprives New Jersey workers of important legal rights and protections as well as certain employment-related benefits, including unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and disability benefits; and
WHEREAS, an employer who misclassifies an employee as an independent contractor potentially violates a number of State and federal laws, including labor, employment, tax, insurance and occupational safety laws; and
WHEREAS, misclassification further harms law-abiding businesses who follow the rules by enabling non-compliant employers to gain an unfair competitive advantage; and
WHEREAS, this practice harms the State's economy in many ways, including the loss of State and federal payroll taxes, with some audits suggesting that misclassification deprives New Jersey of over $ 500 million in tax revenue every year; and
WHEREAS, another effect of misclassification is that independent contractors are not covered under the National Labor Relations Act, making it more difficult for them to organize and collectively bargain; and
WHEREAS, while New Jersey's laws are intended to safeguard against employee misclassification, the effectiveness of these laws will be enhanced through the facilitation of coordinated and efficient enforcement efforts by State agencies and departments to ensure compliance;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, PHILIP D. MURPHY, Governor of the State of New Jersey, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and by the Statutes of this State, do hereby ORDER and DIRECT:
1. There is hereby established the Task Force on Employee Misclassification ("Task Force"), which shall be responsible for providing advice and recommendations to the Governor's Office and Executive Branch departments and agencies on strategies and actions to combat employee misclassification, including but not limited to the following:
a. Examining and evaluating existing misclassification enforcement by executive departments and agencies;
b. Developing best practices by departments and agencies to increase coordination of information and efficient enforcement;
c. Developing recommendations to foster compliance with the law, including by educating employers, workers, and the public about misclassification; and
d. Conducting a review of existing law and applicable procedures related to misclassification.

WHEREAS, 43 of 45 adults and students aboard the bus, as well as the truck driver, were rushed to local hospitals after the crash, and several remain in critical condition and are undergoing surgery; and

Issued: November 11, 2018.
Effective: November 11, 2018.
WHEREAS, November 11 is observed every year as Veterans Day in the United States; and
WHEREAS, November 11 was originally selected as a day of reflection for those who served in World War I because it marked the end of that conflict, but has since been expanded to recognize and honor all veterans who have served in the U.S. armed forces and sacrificed for our country; and
WHEREAS, November 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I; and
