Illinois & Chicago Mandatory Paid Leave: What LTC Needs to Know

DATE: Thursday, December 21, 2023
Noon – 1 p.m. CST

COURSE DESCRIPTION

For Illinois employers, the Paid Leave for All Workers Act goes into effect January 1, 2024, and it signifies a paradigm shift in workforce management by giving employees the right to earn up to 40 hours of paid leave per year based on hours worked. And in Chicago, the City Council passed the Chicago Paid Leave and Paid Sick and Safe Leave Ordinance, which creates a separate obligation for employers to provide staff working in Chicago the ability to earn up to 40 hours of paid leave and up to 40 hours of paid sick leave per 12-month accrual period, with a total entitlement of up to 80 hours of paid time off per 12-month period.

Helping you navigate these new regulations are Aimee E. Delaney and Tom H. Luetkemeyer, partners with Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP.
