Recent amendments to the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) will expand leave protections, broaden employer coverage, lower employee eligibility requirements, and create new considerations related to New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (FLI) and Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI). These changes will impact how employers administer leave, update policies, and manage workforce planning.

To help employers understand these new requirements, Alloy Silverstein and Abacus Payroll are hosting a complimentary webinar with Brown & Connery LLP that will break down the upcoming changes and what they mean for New Jersey businesses.

What You’ll Learn

This presentation will:

• Identify the key NJFLA alterations effective July 17 and explain their day-to-day impact on New Jersey employers and employees.
• Explain the changes to New Jersey Family Leave Insurance and New Jersey Temporary Disability Insurance taking effect at the same time and how they may impact employer decisions.
• Explore potential actions and challenges as employers navigate the numerous changes to these leave laws.

Why Employers Should Attend

Whether you have 5, 15, or 35+ employees, these changes will impact you.

Many employers that were previously not covered by the NJFLA may become subject to the law beginning July 17, 2026, as the employer coverage threshold is reduced from 30 employees to 15 employees. Employee eligibility requirements are also being significantly lowered, meaning more workers may qualify for protected leave.

If you own a small business, manage HR responsibilities, oversee payroll, or handle employee benefits, understanding these changes is essential to maintaining compliance and avoiding costly mistakes.

Registration is free, but advance registration is required.
