On Friday, May 3, 2008 New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine signed the nations’ third “Family Leave Act” allowing workers up to six weeks off to care for a newborn or newly adopted child, or a sick parent, spouse or child. They could collect up to two-thirds of their pay, up to a maximum of $524 a week. The Bill (A-873) is available here: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2008/Bills/A1000/873_I1.HTM
