Operating in the Garden State? You’ll want to keep those family leave records for at least three years under the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA). That aligns with the federal FMLA, but New Jersey covers a broader range of leave types and situations, which means more documentation to manage and retain.
Retention tip: Maintain detailed logs of all requests, responses, and certifications, even when leave is denied or withdrawn. In NJ, smart documentation is your best defense. Is your retention policy up to the task?
