New Jersey Assembly Bill A126 creates a tax credit program for employers who provide full paid family leave (up to two workdays) to employees for school-related events involving their children, such as conferences or meetings. Employers that offer this leave can claim tax credits equal to the wages paid during those days, offsetting the cost of the benefit.
