Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 34:11b-2, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 34:11b-2.
The Legislature finds and declares that the number of families in the State in which
both parents or a single parent is employed outside of the home has increased dramatically
and continues to increase and that due to lack of employment policies to accommodate
working parents, many individuals are forced to choose between job security and parenting
or providing care for ill family members. The Legislature further finds that it is necessary to promote the economic security
of families by guaranteeing jobs to wage earners who choose to take a period of leave
upon the birth or placement for adoption of a child or serious health condition of
a family member. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is the policy of the State to protect
and promote the stability and economic security of family units. The Legislature further declares that employees should be entitled to take a period
of leave upon the birth or placement for adoption of a child or serious health condition
of a family member without risk of termination of employment or retaliation by employers
and without loss of certain benefits.
