Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey’s earned sick leave law to allow employees to use accrued sick leave for time needed to participate in immigration-related proceedings, such as preparing for court hearings or consulting with legal counsel. It expands the existing definition of qualifying reasons for sick leave to include these specific circumstances. The bill aims to support individuals navigating the immigration system by providing access to necessary time off.
