An employer and employee created an employment arrangement in New Jersey where the evidence indicated the employee, after filing an online application with a New York company, initially received a phone call at his home to arrange an employment interview at the employer’s New York operation and, following that interview, received another telephone call at his home from one of the employer’s representatives offering him the job. Accordingly, a New Jersey court, quoting Larson’s Workers’ Compensation Law, held that the Garden State had a sufficient interest in the employment arrangement to allow it to exercise jurisdiction over a workers’ compensation claim in spite of the fact that all work had been performed in New York and the employee’s injury was sustained in New York.
