New Jersey’s employment law landscape has shifted significantly. As we reported earlier this year, former Governor Phil Murphy signed into law Assembly Bill 3451, effective July 17, 2026, which vastly expands New Jersey workers’ job protections. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) issued new guidance on the sweeping changes to job protection requirements under the state’s temporary disability insurance (TDI), family leave insurance (FLI), and Family Leave Act (NJFLA) amendments and published FAQs for employers and employees for TDI/FLI job protection. For employers across New Jersey, particularly smaller businesses, the implications are substantial and require immediate action.
