This Law Firm Publication by Ford & Harrison LLP discusses a new law requiring Jersey City employers to provide paid sick leave to employees working at least 80 hours per calendar year, effective January 2014. Businesses with ten or more employees, including temporary and part-time workers, must offer paid sick leave. Smaller businesses must provide unpaid sick leave. Employers should examine whether their current paid time off policies satisfy the mandates of the new law, which carries civil penalties as well as notice, posting and recordkeeping requirements.
