Two Morris County businesses among nine added to New Jersey ‘wall’ for unpaid liabilities
MORRIS COUNTY, N.J. – The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) has added nine new businesses — including two based in Morris County — to its Workplace Accountability in Labor List (The WALL) in August, bringing the total to 289 employers barred from public contracting for allegedly failing to resolve outstanding wage, benefit, or tax law violations.
The newly added businesses owe a combined $287,067.96 in unpaid contributions, penalties, and interest to the Unemployment Compensation Fund and State Disability Benefits Fund. Collectively, companies on The WALL owe $26.3 million either directly to workers or to the state.

The WALL initiative, launched in September 2023, prevents listed employers from bidding on or being awarded public contracts at the state, county or municipal level until liabilities are paid in full.
“Posting on The WALL is a powerful enforcement tool that enables the department to publicly name companies that shortchange their workers and skip required contributions,” NJDOL said in its announcement.
The program was established through bipartisan legislation (S-4226) in 2020 to combat worker misclassification and exploitation. Businesses receive warning letters and have 20 days to resolve debts before being posted.
Since its launch, NJDOL has recovered more than $692,000 from businesses that were added to or warned about The WALL.
The full, searchable list — including business names, dates posted, and other details — is available at nj.gov/labor/wall.
