New Jersey Family Leave

njjel · April 2003

For those of you in NJ I have a question regarding NJFL. A NJ employee takes 12 weeks of federal FMLA for their own serious health condition for foot surgery. Four months after they return to work they go out on maternity leave. Are they entitled to 12 weeks of NJFL at the time of the birth of the child because the federal leave was for their own serious health condition and now this leave is to care for the child?

sorry but I don't see the correlation between this and your suggested topic. Can anyone give me some thoughts on my NJFL question? Thanks.

My understanding is that the NJ family leave act does not cover time off due to the employee's disability. However, it does cover a leave to care for a child after their birth etc. Therefore, an employee can take 12 weeks under FMLA for their own illness and later take 12 weeks under the NJFLA to care for a new born child.

Thanks. Are you in New Jersey by chance? I tried emailing you but it tells me you have your email disabled.
