The bill would regulate the state’s temp worker industry that employs roughly 130,000 people.
Murphy recommended amendments toon Thursday, including a $1 million appropriation to implement the bill and ensure “robust enforcement” of temp agencies that break the rules. He said he supported the bill’s effort to promote a fairer industry but said his changes would “bolster its administration and effectiveness.”
Workers who are taken to job sites but are sent home without work would also have to be compensated for at least four hours of work, under the bill. Temp agencies violating the rules could face daily $5,000 fines. But representatives for temp agencies have spent the last few weeks lobbying for other changes to the bill, raising concerns that its passage would cost temp worker jobs and unfairly burden the agencies that employ them.
Lawmakers in both chambers initially approved the so-called “Temp Workers Bill of Rights” in June, but thebecause of a procedural error, delaying the bill’s passage. Murphy had until Thursday to take action on the bill, or it would have become law under constitutional deadlines.
