Industry groups are filing an appeal over a federal judge’s ruling against putting on hold a New Jersey staffing law while it goes through the courts, according to court filings. The law contains a requirement that temporary workers from staffing firms receive pay equal to that of directly employed workers among other provisions. The law took effect Saturday.

The motion to appeal is being filed by the New Jersey Staffing Alliance, the American Staffing Association and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association with the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. It’s appealing the judge’s July 26 decision denying their application for injunctive relief in the case.

In a previous statement, the New Jersey Business and Industry Association noted that while it does not oppose the intent of the law to provide protection and transparency to temporary workers, provisions regarding wages and benefits will cause “insurmountable problems” for staffing firms and drive many out of business.
