NJ S1482

Employers must provide written disclosure of job applicants' eligibility for family and medical leave benefits at the time of making an employment offer, covering New Jersey Family Leave Act, federal FMLA, family temporary disability leave, NJ SAFE Act, and temporary disability benefits.

If an applicant would be ineligible for any leave or benefits as an employee, the employer must notify them of each type they cannot access and explain the reason for ineligibility.

Employers must include information on how to access the Department of Labor and Workforce Development's webpage on employee leave and benefits as part of the disclosure.

Employers who fail to provide required disclosures face civil penalties of up to $500 per violation, with each applicant not properly informed constituting a separate violation.

The law takes effect on the first day of the second month following enactment.
