Illinois Paid Leave/Sick Leave Mandates – Employers, Are You Ready?

The recently overhauled paid leave ordinances in Illinois include: Illinois Paid Leave For All Workers Act (effective January 1, 2024), Cook County Paid Leave (effective February 1, 2024) and the City of Chicago Paid Leave (effective July 1, 2024)/City of Chicago Sick Leave (amended) (effective July 1, 2024). Compliance is going to require more than an updated leave policy, so it is important to review your policies and practices to make sure you are compliant.
