Remote Workers Not Automatically Entitled to Jurisdiction in Home State, Says NJ District Court

“Although Tripp worked remotely from his home in New Jersey, paid New Jersey taxes, collected New Jersey unemployment and disability benefits, received office equipment from Ascentage, and stored business-related documents in his home, those actions were not particular to New Jersey and could have occurred in any state where Tripp chose to work,” stated U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty, in his written opinion for the court.
