Report Link New Jersey Labor Department Changes Enforcement Policy on Rounding Employees' Time to Favor Workers.Jackson Lewis LLP - April 21, 2009 The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (“NJDOL”) has quietly implemented a new enforcement policy, Jackson Lewis has learned, prohibiting employers from rounding hourly employees’ time evenhandedly, a practice the agency formerly allowed. The change could cost employers dearly. The NJDOL has audited several New Jersey employers recently to determining whether they are rounding employees’ time for the purpose of wage payment. State auditors issued wage payment violations under the New Jersey wage-hour law, resulting in substantial back pay liability and penalties to employers found to have engaged in this practice unlawfully. The NJDOL now has acknowledged the change in its enforcement to Jackson Lewis.
