A 1989 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires employer to disclose information concerning leave eligibility in hiring package.

This bill requires employers to provide written information about an applicant's eligibility for specific family and medical leave benefits at the time of a job offer. It directly affects job applicants and employers in New Jersey, covering state and federal leave programs like the Family Leave Act and disability benefits. Employers must disclose whether an applicant will qualify for each benefit, explain any ineligibility reasons, and provide access to a state-maintained benefits webpage. Failure to comply results in a $500 civil penalty per violation. The law aims to increase transparency about leave rights before employment begins.
