flag New Jersey expands paid family leave in 2026 to cover more reasons and more workers, raising concerns for small businesses.

flag New Jersey is expanding its family leave program in 2026, extending paid leave to cover bonding with a new child, care for a seriously ill family member, and other qualifying reasons. flag The changes, which will increase benefits and broaden eligibility, may place financial and operational strain on small businesses, which often lack the resources to absorb temporary staffing gaps or increased payroll costs. flag While the state aims to support workers and promote equity, business owners are concerned about compliance and potential disruptions, especially in industries with tight margins.
