"You have up to one year after the birth of a child to use this benefit. NJ employers cannot deny you the time off according to the law."
Yes, that just went into effect this year I believe.

The costs ($6-7 on top of everything else) seem very high - can you provide a link that confirms this? I'm not at all defending this program since it is yet another business unfriendly law that noses the government into what should be personal decisions. Then there's the much larger extent to which people who don't have kids subsidize the government schools...

unfortunately NJ is one of only 4 states that offers paid leave. NY doesn't have the same benefits. So it sounds like the key is the location of the company and not the state residence of the employee....

So if you live in NJ and work in NY, wouldn't you receive NY leave benefits? Maybe they are similar...

Unfortunately if your company is based in NY you are not eligible for anything NJ offers. I believe NJFLA offers 12 weeks not 6. (Not to rub it in or anything).

does anyone know their way around this one? If you live in JC but work in NYC for a large company, are you able to take the 6 weeks of NJ paid leave on top of the 12 weeks you get from federal laws? Thanks for any info...
