Choosing a PEO in New Jersey
New Jersey's minimum wage is $15.92 per hour as of January 1, 2026 for most employers (those with six or more employees), adjusted annually for inflation. Smaller and seasonal employers pay a slightly lower $15.23, and long-term care direct care staff earn a higher $18.92. New Jersey's Earned Sick Leave Law applies to every employer in the state regardless of size — a broader standard than most states, which typically exempt small employers. Employees accrue 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 40 hours per year.
New Jersey runs a genuinely comprehensive state benefits system: Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) and Family Leave Insurance (FLI) both operate at the state level, with the 2026 maximum weekly benefit rising to $1,119. New Jersey's anti-discrimination law, the NJ Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), covers employers with just one employee — a far broader threshold than most state civil rights statutes, which typically kick in at 4 or 15 employees. A 2026 amendment to the New Jersey Family Leave Act took effect July 17, 2026, so employers should confirm their leave policies reflect the current version of the law.
New Jersey is one of only two states, along with Maine, that requires severance pay independent of federal WARN obligations. The NJ WARN Act requires 90 days advance notice (30 more than the federal 60-day standard) for a covered mass layoff or plant closing, and mandates severance pay of one week for each year of service — with an additional four weeks of pay owed if the employer fails to give the full 90 days' notice. Workers' compensation insurance is mandatory for all private New Jersey employers, and the 2026 maximum weekly benefit rose to $1,199.
New Jersey requires PEOs to register with the Division of Employer Accounts under the state's Employee Leasing Law, including annual audited financial statements demonstrating positive working capital. Final wages are due on the employee's next regular payday, whether the employee quit or was terminated. A PEO with New Jersey expertise can help businesses navigate the state's layered leave and disability programs, manage NJ WARN severance exposure, and administer earned sick leave for every employee regardless of company size.
