NJ Rev Stat § 43:21-33 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 43 - Pensions and Retirement and Unemployment Compensation|Section 43:21-33 - Election of employees; deduction of contributions.

43:21-33 Election of employees; deduction of contributions.  9. Election of employees; deduction of contributions. If employees who are subject to the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement are to be required to contribute toward the cost of benefits under a private plan, such plan shall not become effective unless prior to the effective date a majority of the employees in the class or classes to be covered thereby have agreed thereto by written election, unless the collective bargaining agreement expressly waives the employees' right to a majority election as a condition for the private plan. In the case of employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, no employee consent or written election is required for the withdrawal from the State plan or the establishment of a private plan. Whether or not an election is required, the employer may during the continuance of the approved private plan collect the required contributions thereto by deduction from the wages paid to covered individuals under such plan, which deduction may be combined with that deduction required by Revised Statutes, section 43:21-7(d)(1) if reasonable notice is given covered individuals concerning such combined deduction by the employer; provided, that if any employer fails to deduct the contributions of any of his employees at the time their wages are paid, or fails to make a deduction therefor at the time wages are paid for the next succeeding payroll period, he may not thereafter collect a contribution with respect to such wages previously paid. Written elections held pursuant to this section may be conducted by electronic communications evidenced by the electronic signature of the employee, as the term electronic signature is defined in section 2 of P.L.2001, c.116 (C.12A:12-2), but shall not be conducted in a manner inconsistent with any applicable terms of a collective bargaining agreement. A covered individual shall not be entitled to any benefits from the State disability benefits fund with respect to any period of disability commencing while he is covered under an approved private plan.

43:21-34. Existing plans  If upon the effective date of this act a covered employer has in effect a plan for the payment of cash disability benefits to his employees or to any class or classes thereof, or has in effect an agreement with a union or association whereby there is in effect a plan for the payment of cash disability benefits to his employees or to any class or classes thereof (and to the cost of which plan the employer is obligated to contribute,) such plan shall, regardless of the requirements of this article, be deemed to be an approved private plan until the earliest date upon which the employer shall have the right to modify the benefits of or discontinue such plan, or to discontinue contributions toward the cost thereof. In such case the employer shall notify the commission of the circumstances. During the continuance of such private plan the employees covered thereunder shall not be entitled to any benefits under the State plan with respect to any period of disability commencing while they are covered under such private plan. If any such private plan covers only a class or classes of covered individuals, the employer may effect another private plan for his remaining employees or for a class or classes of them, subject to the requirements and limitations of section eight.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 43 - Pensions and Retirement and Unemployment Compensation|Section 43:21-39.3 - Payment of benefits for family temporary disability leave, continuous or intermittent.

43:21-39.3 Payment of benefits for family temporary disability leave, continuous or intermittent.  12. a. (1) All of the disability benefits paid to a covered individual during a period of family temporary disability leave with respect to any one birth, placement in foster care, or adoption shall be for a single continuous period of time or during non-consecutive weeks or days on an intermittent basis pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection, which shall be disclosed to the division by the employer.  (2) In the case of intermittent benefits for family temporary disability leave with respect to a birth, placement in foster care, or adoption, the covered individual shall provide the employer with prior notice of the leave not less than 15 days before the first day on which benefits are paid for the intermittent leave, unless an emergency or other unforeseen circumstance precludes prior notice; and the covered individual makes a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to unduly disrupt the operations of the employer and, if possible, provide the employer, prior to the commencement of intermittent leave, with a regular schedule of the days or days of the week on which the intermittent leave will be taken. b. In the case of single continuous benefits for family temporary disability leave with respect to birth, placement in foster care, or adoption, the covered individual shall provide the employer with prior notice of the leave not less than 30 days before the leave commences, unless it commences while the individual is receiving unemployment benefits, in which case the covered individual shall notify the division. The amount of benefits shall be reduced by two weeks worth of benefits if the individual does not provide notice to an employer as required by this subsection b., unless the time of the leave is unforeseeable or the time of the leave changes for unforeseeable reasons. c. Family temporary disability leave taken because of the birth or placement in foster care or for adoption of a child may be taken at any time within a year after the date of the birth or placement in foster care or for adoption.

NJ Rev Stat § 43:21-39.5 (2021)
2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 43 - Pensions and Retirement and Unemployment Compensation|Section 43:21-39.5 - Temporary disability benefits, paid family leave benefits program; applications.

43:21-39.5 Temporary disability benefits, paid family leave benefits program; applications.  1. a. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, when a covered individual applies for temporary disability benefits for disability resulting from pregnancy or the birth of a child, the plan administering the covered individual's benefits shall automatically process an application for that individual for the paid family leave benefits program, unless the individual affirmatively opts out of that program, such that the individual shall be required to submit only one application for both programs. The application for benefits shall be processed to allow the paid family leave benefits, if approved, to begin immediately following the end of the temporary disability benefits, unless the individual notifies the plan that the individual wants to postpone or opt out of the paid family leave benefits. A covered individual who is approved for benefits under this section shall notify the plan administering the covered individual's benefits of the date on which the covered individual will return to work, and shall notify the plan administering the benefits if the covered individual returns to work on an earlier date.  The provisions of this act shall apply to the State plan and a private plan which holds temporary disability insurance and family leave insurance for the individual. A private plan that offers only temporary disability benefits shall provide to its temporary disability claimants written notice of the application process for family leave benefits concurrently with issuing its written approval of temporary disability benefits. A private plan that offers both temporary disability benefits and paid family leave benefits shall adopt procedures for effectuating the provisions of this act, so individuals are only required to submit one application for both temporary disability benefits and family leave benefits. b. A covered individual who is approved for temporary disability benefits for disability resulting from pregnancy shall be entitled to four weeks of benefits before the expected delivery date and six weeks of benefits after the actual delivery date. The covered individual shall recertify for benefits no later than two weeks following the actual delivery date, and shall not be required to recertify at any other time during the benefit periods. A covered individual shall receive a longer period of disability before the expected delivery date or after the actual delivery date, if the covered individual provides the plan administering the benefits with a certification from a health care provider that the longer period is necessary.
