About Temporary Disability Insurance Employees who are temporarily unable to work because of a nonwork-related illness or accident may qualify for temporary disability insurance. Covered New Jersey employers must provide temporary disability coverage for employees under either the state plan or a state-approved private plan. A combination plan, insuring some employees under the state plan and others under a private plan, is also an option. About Workers' Compensation Employees who suffer a work-related injury or contract an occupational disease that prevents them from working may apply for workers' compensation. All employers in New Jersey are required to carry workers' compensation insurance.
