NJFLA stands for the New Jersey Family Leave Act. The New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) is New Jersey’s state law that provides job protection for family leave. It provides job protection for eligible employees of covered employers to care for a family member, or someone who is the equivalent of family. Though an eligible employee may be allowed to use paid time off during their job-protected leave, the NJFLA does not provide cash benefits during family leave.
The New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) provides unpaid leave entitlement to eligible employees for the birth or adoptions of a child or the care of a spouse, civil union partner, son, daughter, parent, parent in-law, or a person in a parental relationship who has a serious health condition.
