FREE WEBINAR | NJDOL’s New Independent Contractor Rules: What CREDA Members Need to Know (12 Nov 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:00:00 GMT

************************************************************************************************************************************

New Jersey’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s new regulations governing the classification of employees and independent contractors took effect October 1, 2026. The rules provide additional guidance on New Jersey’s ABC Test and have implications for businesses across industries, including construction and commercial real estate.

For CREDA New Jersey members, the rules may directly impact how companies engage contractors, subcontractors, property service providers, consultants, maintenance professionals, and other independent workers.

This timely 75-minute webinar will bring together construction and employment-law perspectives to help CREDA members understand the new rules, identify potential areas of concern, and determine what they should be reviewing now.

Program Topics

The October 1 Changes: What Happened and Why It Matters
Understanding the ABC Test
What the New Rules Mean for Commercial Real Estate
Beyond the Contract: When the Working Relationship Matters
Construction-Specific Considerations
What CREDA Members Should Do Now
What Happens Next? Legislative & Regulatory Update

Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of the new rules, how the ABC Test applies to CRE-related relationships, potential areas of risk, and steps they can take now as the regulatory and legislative landscape continues to evolve.

What does it take to transform an aging commercial property into a destination that attracts businesses, creates energy, and keeps investment in New Jersey?

Join CREDA New Jersey and CREW NJ for an inside look at Bell Works at Fort Monmouth, one of New Jersey’s most recognizable examples of commercial repositioning and redevelopment and the 2026 Mixed-Use Winner at CREDA New Jersey’s 39th Annual Commercial Real Estate Awards.

This interactive morning program will take attendees behind the scenes of the Bell Works transformation through an informal conversation with members of the project team. Hear firsthand about the vision behind the redevelopment, the challenges of repositioning an existing asset, the strategies used to create a vibrant environment for tenants, and the role that developers, tenants, design professionals, and other project partners play in bringing a complex project like this to life.

The conversation will be followed by a property tour, giving attendees the opportunity to see the transformation firsthand and experience the property’s evolving mix of workplaces, amenities, and gathering spaces.

Whether you’re a developer, owner, investor, broker, architect, engineer, attorney, or other CRE professional, this program offers an opportunity to see what’s working, hear lessons from the people who made it happen, and explore how repositioning can create new value from existing commercial assets.

Come experience the award-winning Bell Works transformation, hear the story behind the project, and leave with ideas that can help shape the future of commercial real estate in New Jersey.
