If you are an employer who employs at least 20 people in the state of New Jersey, you are now required to offer pre-tax commuter benefits to your employees. NJ is the first state to pass such an ordinance<\/a>. Though the ordinance is effective immediately, there will not be any penalties for non-compliance until the final rules and regulations are released. This guidance is expected to be delivered no earlier than March 1, 2020. The Commission of Labor and Workforce Development will be responsible for administration and enforcement.<\/p>\n

What are commuter benefits?<\/strong>
\nCommuter benefit plans allow employees to save on work-related transit and parking costs. Up to $265 in parking expenses and $265 in mass transit and vanpooling expenses can be paid pre-tax each month. The funds are deposited into participant accounts through convenient pre-tax payroll deductions and loaded onto\u00a0debit cards for easy access. Additional funds can also be contributed on a post-tax basis to cover expenses in excess of these monthly limits for one convenient way to pay. Similar to 401(k) accounts, employers may also choose to make contributions to employees\u2019 commuter benefit accounts.<\/p>\n

Commuter benefit contributions are not considered employee wages, so your company can save on payroll taxes. Your employees also save on taxes and increase their take-home wages. As Coast Policy Director Jason Pavluchuk puts it, \u201ctransit benefits are a win-win for employers, commuters, and local government.\u201d<\/p>\n
