Is a Family Leave Insurance claimants job protected?
The Family Leave Insurance program does not protect anyone’s job. The program provides partial wage replacement when an employee cannot work because of the need to care for a child, parent, spouse, or domestic partner, or to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child. Some employees may have their job protected under other laws, such as the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA).
