Lawmakers approve paid leave for workers caring for relatives
Monday, April 7th 2008, 3:28 PM
TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey on Monday moved to become the third state to require companies to offer paid leave to workers wishing to care for a new child or sick relative.
The state Senate voted 21-15 to approve the bill that would offer up to six weeks paid leave. The Assembly approved the Democratic plan last month and Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine said he’ll soon sign it.
Corzine on Monday said his experience recovering from a near-fatal April 12 car crash last year reinforced his support.
