S.2950

Revises law concerning family leave to extend protection by reducing employee threshold from 30 employees to 15 employees in definition of employer.

Introduced·3/11/24

Reduces employer threshold for family leave reinstatement rights from 30 to 5 employees.

This bill revises New Jersey law to extend family leave protections by reducing the employee threshold for employer reinstatement obligations from 30 to 5 employees. It phases in this change, starting with 20 employees one year after the bill's effective date, then 10 employees the next year, and finally 5 employees two years after the bill's effective date. The bill ensures that employees of smaller employers can return to their jobs after taking family temporary disability leave benefits or unpaid family leave.
