Family and Medical Leave Laws (FMLA) Comparison Chart (NJ and Federal)

Summary

This chart is a comparative analysis of key provisions in the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and their analogues in New Jersey law. New Jersey has enacted its own family and medical leave legislation, the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA), which grants leave time for the birth or placement of an employee's child or a serious health condition of the employee's child, parent, spouse, or partner. The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) provides additional protections for female employees affected by pregnancy.
