As we previously posted, New Jersey recently expanded family leave entitlements for workers in the state. That included expanding coverage of the New Jersey Family Leave Act and New Jersey’s Family Leave Insurance benefits. The New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) recently issued updated versions of the mandatory workplace posters for the New Jersey Family Leave Act and Family Leave Insurance. The NJDOL also issued updated its Frequently Asked Questions for Family Leave Insurance.
Employers in New Jersey should immediately replace the now outdated workplace posters for the New Jersey Family Leave Act and Family Leave Insurance with the updated ones. Also, businesses that have not already done so should contact competent counsel to update their handbooks and policies to ensure compliance with the requirements of the expanded family leave entitlements.
