New Jersey’s family leave laws are evolving…and employers need to be ready.
Join us for a practical webinar designed for in-house counsel, human resource professionals, and business owners and managers who navigate employee leave issues for employees who work in or report to offices in New Jersey.
This webinar will provide a clear overview of the current New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA), highlight key changes taking effect in July 2026, and explore how NJFLA, the federal FMLA, and New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (NJFLI) interact in real-world situations, particularly around childbirth, baby bonding, and family caregiving.
Using common hypotheticals and practical guidance, our presenters will address areas of uncertainty in the law and share proactive steps employers should be taking now, including policy updates and preparation for new notices and guidance as they become available.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the current requirements of the NJFLA, including qualifying reasons for leave
- Identify new NJFLA provisions effective July 2026 and key areas where guidance is still developing
- Analyze how NJFLA, FMLA, and NJFLI interact through common employee leave scenarios
- Learn practical compliance strategies, including updating handbooks, policies, and workplace practices
