The New Jersey Senate has given final legislative approval to a bill that will allow workers to take family leave for up to six weeks while receiving partial pay. Gov. Jon Corzine has said he will sign the bill, which was already approved by the state Assembly, and if he does the law will take effect in July 2009. Included in the bill is a safe harbor for businesses with fewer than 50 employees, shielding them from liability if they dismiss key employees who go on extended leave.
