What happened?
On February 20, 2024, New Jersey’s Division on Civil Rights (DCR) published its long-awaited “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) regarding New Jersey’s Family Leave Act (FLA).
What are the details?
The DCR issued FAQs to answer frequent questions, provide clarification, and further explanation of its interpretation of the NJFLA statute and regulations to assist employers in their compliance with the FLA.
These FAQs do not create any new obligations, requirements, or rights under the FLA.
The DCR encourages us to use them as compliance guides and to review the other resources, such as the law, rules, and fact sheet.
Business Considerations
- Use the FAQs as another tool to ensure compliance under the law.
- Adjust your policies, practices, and procedures if you need to do or find inspiration in the released material.
