NJ A1161

Employers with more than 10 employees and third-party job posting companies must disclose in job postings whether the position is an existing vacancy with an estimated fill timeframe, or an anticipated vacancy with specific disclaimers.

Job postings for anticipated vacancies require employers to have listed the same position at least three times or hired at least four employees for similar roles within the preceding 18 months, and such postings expire after 120 days.

Employers must remove job postings within two weeks of filling a position or within 30 days of the original posting, whichever is later, and must make reasonable efforts to notify third-party job sites when positions are filled.

Employers who interview applicants for existing vacancies must inform them within the advertised timeframe whether the position was filled or if the applicant is still under consideration, along with an estimated decision timeline.

Violations result in a warning with seven business days to rectify, followed by penalties of up to $300 for first offenses and $600 for subsequent offenses, with each month of continued violation constituting a separate offense.
