Can the employer require the employee to take accrued paid leave during the one week waiting period?
Yes, the employer may permit or require the employee to use available sick days (including the 10 days provided under N.J.S.A. 18A:30-2), vacation or other paid leave, prior to receiving FTD benefits. Employers, however, may not require employees to use more than 2 weeks of paid leave. If the employer requires the employee to use paid leave, the employer must allow the employee to use paid leave during the one week waiting period.
