New Jersey A2179 mandates employers to provide up to 15 days of paid leave annually for employees serving in elective office.

New Jersey A2179 requires employers with 20 or more full-time employees or public employers to offer up to 15 days of paid leave per calendar year and a leave of absence without pay to employees serving in elective office at the municipal, county, and state levels. This leave must be granted upon written application and does not affect the employee's net credited service, privileges, and benefits. However, employers are not required to pay their portion of the employee's benefits during the leave of absence, only when the employee uses the allotted paid days.
