On January 17, 2026, Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation A-3451/S-2950, expanding the New Jersey Family Leave Act to include job-protected family leave rights to employees working for smaller employers; reducing the minimum employment duration required for leave eligibility; and establishing new job-protection provisions for employees taking medical leave while receiving state Temporary Disability Insurance (“TDI”) benefits.
Effective June 1, 2025, New Jersey’s new wage transparency law will require employers doing business in the state—or employing workers there—to disclose the hourly wage or salary for any advertised position.
