Oh What Tangled Webs Are Weaved: Understanding Leave Laws

State and federal law provide more than a dozen types of protected leaves, including family and medical leave, sick leave and pregnancy disability leave – and employee relations professionals face the daunting task of keeping up with the ever changing employment laws on all levels.

• The federal Family Medical Leave Act
• The New Jersey Family Law Act
• Reasonable accommodation leave
• Other statutorily protected leaves
