New Jersey Paid Family Leave

New Jersey Paid Family Leave (PFL) is a program that provides eligible employees with partial wage replacement when they need time off to care for a new child, a seriously ill family member, or to address certain military family needs. Funded through employee payroll contributions, it typically offers up to 12 weeks of paid leave within a 12-month period. PFL is designed to help workers balance their job responsibilities with family caregiving without risking income loss, ensuring they can take necessary time off while maintaining job protection.
