(N.J.S.A. 34:11-71c). The employing hiring entity(ies) and domestic worker must have enough time to review the contract. They must sign and date the contract. (N.J.S.A. 34:11-71a).\nA referral or employment agency must provide domestic workers and an employing hiring entity(ies) with information concerning contract requirements of the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights when an employing hiring entity(ies) is connected with a domestic worker.
