UPDATES

New Jersey employers must report all employee separations electronically through the Employer Access portal as of December 8, 2025. This requirement applies to all separations regardless of reason: layoffs, terminations, resignations, or retirements.

Employers must provide separation information immediately when an employee becomes unemployed. The law requires electronic reporting to enable faster unemployment benefit determinations. Employers who fail to report separations face penalties for willful failure to furnish reports.

If you haven't registered for Employer Access yet, your authorization code is included in the annual assessment bill mailed mid-August. You must register with a valid email address to comply with the new reporting requirements.
