AIT GLOBAL INC. VS. PANKAJ YADAV
A-2847-14T4
Plaintiff, a temporary help service firm (THSF) appealed a judgment in favor of its former employee after it attempted to enforce early termination and restrictive covenant provisions
pursuant to an employment agreement. The sole question on appeal is whether plaintiff is required to be licensed as an employment agency pursuant to the Private Employment Agency Act (the Act), N.J.S.A. 34:8-43 to -66, in order to enforce an employment agreement with defendant. We conclude that registration, rather than licensing, is required for a THSF to enforce an employment agreement pursuant to the Act. We reverse and remand.
