Helping balance the demands
of work and family.
New Jersey is a leader on paid leave with both a state Earned Sick Leave law and a recently expanded Paid Family Leave program. Millions of workers who were unable to put their and their families’ health first, can now do so.
Yet there is still work to be done. Many workers are unaware of what is available to help them afford time off. And there are still workers who do not have enough paid leave and there is no permanent paid leave in the US.
