N.J.S.A. 11A:6-7 Leaves for part-time employees
Part-time employees shall receive proportionate vacation, sick and administrative leave.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means
Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.
In plain language
Ten words, and they do a lot of work. Part-time employees get vacation, sick and administrative leave in proportion to their hours. Not at the discretion of the employer, and not conditional on a contract providing it. Someone working half time earns half the entitlement the preceding sections set out, which makes those sections apply to a population they never mention.
