New Jersey and Delaware
Greater Philadelphia does not stop at the city limits or the state line. Companies in the region hire from Cherry Hill, Camden, Wilmington, and Newark as easily as from Conshohocken, and the day they do, a different state's rules attach. New Jersey applies its discrimination law, earned sick leave, and salary history ban from the first employee, with no small-employer exemption. Delaware runs a paid family and medical leave program with tiers that turn on how many people you have in the state. This hub covers what changes when your people cross the river, in plain English, with the threshold and the statute for each rule.
