A 3888 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Increases days of paid leave of absence for public employees who serve in United States Reserves.

This bill (NJ A3888) increases paid leave for New Jersey public employees who serve in the U.S. military Reserves. It directly affects state, county, school district, and municipal employees who are members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps Reserves, or affiliated National Guard units. The key change amends state law to provide **90 paid work days per year** for federal active duty (up from 30 days), with any leave beyond 90 days provided without pay but without loss of time. The policy change applies to permanent, full-time temporary, and certain other public employees serving in reserve components.
