NJASA Legal Department Research Services - October 2019

In the September 2019 Administrative Guide, we provided an analysis of the revised and expanded  New Jersey Family Leave Act, the Temporary Disability Benefits Act, and the New Jersey Security and Financial Empowerment Act. This Administrative Guide will continue the discussion and provide further analysis of these laws and their application to New Jersey school district employers.

In addition, the School News Briefs reviews three new cases including one in which the Appellate Division held that Superintendent compensation for performing shared superintendent services is creditable for pension purposes.

The Impact on Negotiations also reviews three new cases including one in which PERC denied a board’s request to restrain arbitration of a grievance that challenged a board’s demand that a staff member provide a physician’s note for an absence on the same day as the Philadelphia Eagles’ Superbowl Parade.
