Paid Parental Leave

Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family! We know that taking time away from work during this special time is important. We are proud to offer a paid parental leave supplement benefit of 12 weeks for all new parents.

This benefit will be offset by any available support through New Jersey’s Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) and/or Family Leave Insurance (FLI). Employees will receive partial pay from the state and the rest from RWJBarnabas Health*.

Please view the full Leave of Absence policy on The Bridge for additional details.

Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement should check with their local human resources teams or union leadership to understand how this benefit may apply.

*To be eligible for supplemental leave of absence benefits, employees must be employed with RWJBarnabas Health for at least one continuous year. These changes apply to consecutive leaves of absence beginning on or after the effective dates noted above and do not apply to intermittent leaves. You must be approved for benefits through the New Jersey TDI/FLI programs (as applicable) in order to collect the supplemental benefit from RWJBarnabas Health. Employees who are located within states other than New Jersey should consult the Leave of Absence team for details on specific processes and benefits that may be available.
