Dear Friends,

Could we say it any better than William Shakespeare, the Bard:

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

We hope you are staying warm and dry as the winter winds blow cold.

The blessings of the season upon you and yours, and happy holidays to all.

As we think about the coming new year, our thoughts turn to family and friends, who are the most important beings of all.

We give you thanks for your love, caring, and support this year and throughout the years and we wish you the very best in 2015.

Below we reprint two of our most popular blog posts this past quarter. The first is an important article about the difference a paternity test can make in the life of a child and a father. The second is an explanation of the requirements under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, eligibility, and limitations. This law has been on the books for many years, but it still puzzles employers and employees alike (as well as HR managers and lawyers for employers and employees). We hope you enjoy this month's readings.

As always, we are here to assist you, your relatives, and your friends with their legal questions and challenges.

With highest regards,

Who qualifies for unpaid leave and job protection under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act?
Life does not always run smoothly.  Whether we like it or not, there may come a time when day-to-day tasks are interrupted by medical issues that pull you away from responsibilities of daily life, including work. Many workers who find that they are facing this reality will not know what rights they have.  Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), qualifying New Jersey workers may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each 12 months, with full job protection.
