New Jersey bill A2198 establishes bereavement leave for employees due to child death, miscarriage, stillbirth, and failed fertility treatments.
New Jersey bill A2198 amends the "Family Leave Act" to allow employees to take leave for bereavement due to the death of a child, miscarriage, stillbirth, or failed fertility treatments. Employees can take up to 21 days of leave if they are not eligible for other types of leave or benefits. For those who are eligible for other leave or benefits, the leave is limited to seven days. The leave can be paid or unpaid, and employers can deny leave only under specific circumstances. The bill also specifies that benefits for bereavement are paid as family temporary disability leave benefits.
