NJDOL Launches World Cup™ Resource Hub for Workers and Employers
The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) today announced the launch of a new website designed to serve as a centralized resource for workers and businesses navigating the state’s labor laws during the FIFA World Cup 2026 major international event.
The global tournament comes to New Jersey from June 13 through July 19, with the World Cup™ Final being hosted Sunday, July 19, at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.
“These games are an exciting moment for New Jersey’s economy and our communities,” said Acting Commissioner Kevin D. Jarvis. “We want to ensure that businesses and workers alike have easy access to the information and support they need to make this a successful experience for everyone. When labor laws are followed, everybody wins because workers are protected, and costly violations are avoided.”
“Hosting eight FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches, including the Final, is a tremendous honor for our region and a major economic opportunity for New Jersey,” said Alex Lasry, CEO, NYNJ FIFA World Cup 2026™ Host Committee. “We are proud to partner with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development to support this centralized resource for workers and businesses to keep New Jersey workers safe as they prepare to take part in this historic moment.”
One-Stop Resource for Compliance and Worker Rights
The new website serves as a hub for:
- Employers seeking guidance on wage and hour laws, worker classification, business registration, and compliance requirements.
- Workers and volunteers who want to learn about their rights, including minimum wage, overtime, and workplace protections, or who wish to file a complaint.
- Community organizations looking for educational resources and materials to share with constituents, available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Arabic, and more.
