A 2187 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes 10 year Menstrual Leave and Remote Work Pilot Program.

This bill establishes a 10-year voluntary pilot program in New Jersey for employers to provide two fully paid medical leave days or two remote work days per month to employees with qualifying menstrual disorders, such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Employees must provide physician documentation confirming their condition. Employers participating in the program receive tax credits (100% of wages for leave, 25% for remote work) to offset costs, with an annual $10 million cap on total credits. The program prohibits discrimination against employees using these accommodations and requires employers to follow existing anti-discrimination laws. It directly affects employees with specific medical conditions and participating employers.
