New Jersey S4185 provides employment protections for certified doulas who miss work to attend births.

New Jersey S4185 ensures that employers cannot discharge, harass, or discriminate against employees who miss work to attend a birth as a certified doula, provided the employee gives advance notice. Certified doulas are trained professionals who support pregnant women during childbirth. Employers are not required to pay for missed work but employees can use vacation or sick days if available. Violators face fines, injunctions, and employee reinstatement among other penalties.
