The NJ Earned Sick Leave Law

On Oct. 29, 2018, the New Jersey Earned Sick Leave Law (ESLL) became effective. The law requires New Jersey employers (other than public employers legally required to provide employees with paid sick leave) to provide their part- and full-time employees (with limited exceptions) with: (a) one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours in a “benefit year” (the “accrual method”); or (b) the full 40 hours of paid sick leave on the first day of the benefit year (the “frontloading method”). N.J.S.A. 34:11 D-2(a).
