All the tools you'll need to help employees navigate their paid leave benefits
NJ Paid Family and Medical Leave, also known as Temporary Disability and Family Leave Insurance, provides cash benefits when employees need to stop working to care for themselves or a loved one.
Most NJ workers are covered, and their jobs may be protected under federal or state law.
Our toolkit shares resources to help you and your employees navigate these programs.
Share information with your employees – it’s the law.
The law requires covered employers to:
- Display the Temporary Disability Insurance poster and the Family Leave Insurance poster in a workplace location where employees can clearly see them.
- Give written notice of these programs when an employee is hired, requests information, or notifies an employer of their need for leave.
Keep in mind that employees often ask their direct supervisor about paid leave. Make sure supervisors are aware of the laws and can access this toolkit, too.
Employers that fail to meet these requirements can face penalties.
