New Jersey Family Leave Expansion: What Every Employer Needs to Know

New Jersey has significantly expanded job-protected leave through recent amendments to state law, and the changes affect employers of every size. One amendment provides job protection for employees who take leave and receive Temporary Disability Insurance or Family Leave Insurance benefits, regardless of company size. This applies to virtually every employer in the state.

This program is part of NRBP’s Professional Development Program Series and included in the benefits package for Catalyst, Innovator, Trailblazer, Visionary and Luminary members. ALL NRBP members should register using their promo code. Non-members register at the full price. For questions, contact Kirsten Giardi – kgiardi@newarkrbp.org.
