Requires employer to disclose information concerning leave eligibility in hiring package.
This bill requires employers in New Jersey to provide written information about an applicant's eligibility for family, medical, and disability leave benefits at the time of a job offer. It directly affects job applicants by disclosing whether they would qualify for specific leave types under state or federal law (including the Family Leave Act, FMLA, and disability benefits) and, if ineligible, the reason for ineligibility. Employers must also direct applicants to a state webpage with further leave information. Failure to comply results in a $500 civil penalty per violation. The law aims to ensure transparency about future workplace benefits during the hiring process.
