NJDOL Adds 19 Businesses with Outstanding Workers' Comp Violations to Workplace Accountability in Labor List (AKA 'The WALL')

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feburary 8, 2024

TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) in February added the names of 19 new businesses to its Workplace Accountability in Labor List (The WALL), bringing to 120 the number of employers that have failed to address their outstanding liabilities for violations of wage, benefit or tax laws.   

The 19 new businesses owe a total of $931,997.12 in penalties for failing to keep workers safe by providing adequate workers’ compensation coverage. The 120 businesses posted to The WALL collectively owe $13.5 million – either directly to their workers or for unpaid taxes or contributions. All are barred from public contracting with state, county, or local governments until they pay their liabilities in full, and all have had multiple opportunities to pay or appeal their assessment.  

The WALL is a powerful enforcement tool that enables the department to publicly name companies that shortchange their workers and fail to pay required contributions to programs such as unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation. The companies on the list have failed to resolve their outstanding fines and fees with NJDOL and Treasury.  

The initiative was established through bipartisan action (S-4226) in 2020 as part of an effort to combat worker misclassification and exploitation. It gives NJDOL power to protect fair-minded businesses across the state from employers that undercut their workers to gain a competitive edge.  

Posting on The WALL is separate from – and may be in addition to – other accountability measures, such as public contractor debarment and business license suspension or revocation. State, county, municipal and school procurement officers must cross-reference The WALL before awarding public contracts, as they do with the debarment list.  

Businesses receive letters warning that their company’s name will be posted to The WALL unless they remedy their outstanding liabilities; they are given 20 days from when they receive the notice to pay in full or challenge their placement on The WALL.  

The inaugural posting of bad actors went live in September 2023. Additional businesses with outstanding violations are added monthly. Anyone involved in awarding public works contracts is urged to view The WALL before procuring these services.
