New Jersey’s Employer Response Portal for unemployment separation reporting is now live, under P.L. 2022, c. 120 (S2357).
Employers must report every employee separation to the Division of Unemployment Insurance within seven days of the separation date, or within seven days of receiving notice that a claim was filed. To use the portal, employers must first register for Employer Access.
Submissions include the separation date, last day worked, reason for separation, and wage and scheduling details. If an employer misses the seven-day window, the determination will be made with available information; the employer will receive the determination and appeal rights in the mail and must file an appeal within seven days of receipt or the determination becomes final.
Payroll takeaway: Confirm portal access and a documented reporting process – missing the window risks a $500 fine, or 25% of the amount fraudulently withheld, whichever is greater.
