Permits employees to use earned sick leave for immigration-related proceedings.

This bill amends New Jersey's earned sick leave law to allow employees to use accrued sick leave for time needed in connection with an immigration-related proceeding. This includes activities such as preparing for, participating in, or attending a court hearing or consulting with legal counsel. Employers may require advance notice for foreseeable leave and documentation for unforeseeable leave. The bill also outlines procedures for employers to handle unused earned sick leave at the end of a benefit year.
