Official Site of The State of New JerseyNJDOL’s Workplace Accountability in Labor List (The WALL) Surpasses $1 Million in Recovered Liabilities, Adds 18 More Businesses in Violation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 10, 2026
TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) has recovered more than $1 million in outstanding liabilities through its Workplace Accountability in Labor List (The WALL) since the initiative’s launch three years ago. In July, the department added 18 new businesses to The WALL, bringing the total to 389 employers listed for failing to address outstanding liabilities for violations of wage, benefit, or tax laws.
“Behind every dollar recovered is a worker denied wages and state programs shortchanged on contributions,” said Acting Labor Commissioner Kevin D. Jarvis. “This million-dollar milestone means money back to deserving workers and stronger safety nets for all New Jerseyans.”
To date, NJDOL has recovered $1,007,181.56 in outstanding liabilities from businesses that have been posted to The WALL or have been warned their business would be added to The WALL if they did not resolve their outstanding liabilities.
“The WALL’s two-part approach—publicly listing violators and barring them from public contracts—motivates many businesses to come into compliance. That’s the power of transparency and real consequences,” said Peter Basso, Director of NJDOL’s Office of Strategic Enforcement and Compliance (OSEC). “This isn’t about punishment—it’s about protecting workers and honest employers who deserve a level playing field.”
The 18 new businesses owe a total of $2,000,056.10 in unpaid wages, fines, penalties, contributions and interest to the Unemployment Compensation Fund and State Disability Benefits Fund. Currently in the third year of the WALL initiative, there are now 389 businesses posted to The WALL that collectively owe $36 million—either directly to their workers or to the state for unpaid taxes, contributions, fines, or penalties. Any business whose name appears on The WALL is barred from public contracting with state, county, or local governments until they pay their liabilities in full.
The WALL is a powerful enforcement tool that enables the department to publicly name companies that shortchange their workers and skip 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 the 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 the date they receive notice to pay in full or challenge their pending placement on The WALL.
The WALL went live in September 2023 with 36 businesses listed. Additional businesses with outstanding violations are added monthly. In December 2025, the Department published the Office of Strategic Enforcement and Compliance Impact Report for 2023-2025, which provides a comprehensive overview of New Jersey’s progress in key areas of labor law enforcement over the prior two years. The report details how critical initiatives like The WALL have effectively tackled wage violations and worker misclassification, recovering millions in owed wages and penalties for the state and workers.
The WALL website features improved accessibility and a streamlined user experience. The updated site includes a convenient search box to enable users to quickly find information on posted businesses, including names and posting dates, in addition to other key details. The WALL can be viewed or downloaded here.
