A federal judge said on Wednesday that New Jersey’s landmark law regulating the temporary worker industry can be fully implemented — dealing a major blow to business groups that wanted to stop additional rules from taking effect next week.
. The ruling clears the way for the most substantial parts of the law, which could potentially boost pay for the low-wage workers, to kick in on Aug. 5.
The New Jersey Staffing Alliance and the American Staffing Association, which filed the suit in May and represent staffing agencies in the state, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday evening. A spokesperson for the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, another plaintiff, said in an email that they were disappointed by the decision.
Steven Harz, the lead attorney representing the staffing agencies, previously told Gothamist that staffing agencies agreed with the intention to improve the temp worker industry but said the law as written would hurt businesses and workers.
