New Jersey Requires Pay and Benefits in Job Postings
Starting June 1, 2025, employers with 10 or more employees will be subject to new pay transparency requirements. The law is written to apply broadly to employers doing business in the state or accepting applications for employment within the state.
*
Job Postings
Employers will need to include the hourly wage or salary (or a range) and a general description of benefits and other compensation in job postings.
This applies to internal postings as well, such as those for transfer opportunities.
*
Promotion Opportunities
Before making promotion decisions, employers need to make reasonable efforts to notify employees in the affected departments about promotion opportunities that have been advertised, either internally or externally. A promotion is defined as a change in job title and an increase in compensation.
Promotions that are awarded based on years of experience or performance (which generally wouldn’t be advertised), as well as those that are required immediately due to unforeseen circumstances (such as the sudden departure of a team manager), are exempt from these notification requirements.
*
Action Items
By June 1, 2025:
Amend your job postings to include the required information.
Ensure that employees are notified of promotion opportunities covered by this law.

First Nonprofit has been a great partner. They have helped us saved hundreds of thousands of dollars! They have awesome resources for our nonprofit organization. Thanks for the partnership.
First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.
Luckily for us, our interactions regarding any issues with staffing has been very minimal! I can say that all other interactions with regards to billing, 941 reporting, etc. have been extremely pleasant, accommodating and easy to work with. Kim Ghanayem is always prompt, professional and friendly. Thank you so much!
First Nonprofit has been easy to work with and makes the administrative process easier and smoother. We enjoy working with you.
I have worked with the First Non-Profit Team for many years, and I appreciate the quick response and care that Cecilia and the team provides anytime I have questions. While there are other providers that may provide like services, First Nonprofit will always be my first choice! I appreciate you!
I would like to comment on my experience with FNP….to date our District has saved $1,000’s of dollars by being enrolled in the First Nonprofit program. My only regret is that we did not know about this method of paying unemployment tax years ago….as I had figured about five years
ago, had we enrolled 15-20 years ago, we could have saved our small school district upwards of $500,000 in payments to IDES. Also we would have had a pretty hefty sum of money in our Reserve Account. Thankfully I attended a workshop hosted by First Nonprofit back in 2015 which got the ball rolling!
My experience with the FNP has been fantastic. The idea of setting funds aside for the unemployment tax liability is a bedrock for nonprofit organizations like mine, namely ASHBA; what is even more advantageous is having the FNP as a custodian of those funds. 100% recommended!
First Nonprofit smoothed the unemployment perils for our organization during Covid. Without the ability to cap our UI exposure, we would not have been able to weather the storm. The program worked perfectly and we have come out of the pandemic ready to forge on. Thanks FNP!
