Section 12:18-3.5 - Concurrent coverage

(a) A covered individual is deemed to be in "concurrent employment" if he or she is in employment with two or more employers the last calendar day of employment preceding the commencement of a period of disability. The term "concurrent employers" means the covered employers with whom the individual was employed on such last day of employment.

(b) The concurrent employers contributing to the State Disability Benefits Fund on behalf of a covered individual in concurrent employment shall be deemed to be his or her "most recent covered employer" for the purpose of computing his or her average weekly wage as defined in the Temporary Disability Benefits Law (N.J.S.A. 43:21-27(j). An individual shall have his or her weekly benefit amount under the State plan computed on the basis of his or her total wages with all such employers during the base weeks in the eight calendar weeks immediately preceding the calendar week in which the disability commenced.

(c) State plan benefits paid to a covered individual in concurrent employment shall be charged to the accounts of the individual's concurrent employers in the same proportion that the individual earned wages from his or her concurrent employers during the 52 calendar weeks immediately preceding the week in which the disability commenced.
