§ 54:54-1 — Covered employees considered employees of client company.

7. For purposes of determining economic incentives or benefit based on employment provided by law, rule or regulation by the State or other government entity, covered employees of a client company shall be considered employees solely of the client company, and the client company shall be entitled to the benefit of any economic incentive or other benefit based on the number of the client company's covered employees, notwithstanding that an employee leasing company is the W-2 reporting employer for the covered employees. Each client company shall be treated as employing only those covered employees co-employed by the client company, and not covered employees employed by other client companies of the employee leasing company. Each employee leasing company shall provide, upon request by the State or any political subdivision thereof, employment information reasonably required for the administration of any economic incentive or benefit program. Each employee leasing company shall provide, upon request by a client company, employment information necessary to support any request, claim, application, or other action by a client company seeking any such economic incentive or benefit. As used in this section, "covered employee," "client company," and "employee leasing company" shall have the same meaning as set forth in section 1 of P.L.2001, c.260 (C.34:8-67). L.2011, c.118, s.7.
