On December 3, 2012, the Assembly passed a bill (A1874) that
would amend New Jersey's Unemployment Compensation Law
regarding disqualification from unemployment insurance (UI)
benefits for misconduct by claimants. The bill would amend the law
to redefine "simple misconduct" and "severe
misconduct." The bill would also place the burden of proof on
the employer to demonstrate that the employee's actions
constitute misconduct and would require the employer to submit
written documentation of the employee's misconduct.
