Expansive paid leave legislation requiring Illinois employers to give workers time off based on hours worked, to be used for any reason, is ready for action by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said he will sign it.
Requiring paid vacation is rare in the U.S. -- just Maine and Nevada have similar laws -- although common in other industrialized nations.
The legislation would take effect on Jan. 1, 2024. Employees will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked up to 40 hours total, although the employer may offer more. Employees can start using the time once they have worked for 90 days. "Life happens," she said, adding that she hopes Chicago will update its law to be more flexible, like the state bill.
Newly-elected House Republican Leader Tony McCombie said the mandated benefits could have a "detrimental effect" on small businesses and nonprofits "in an already unfriendly business climate." Small business advocacy organization National Federation of Independent Business opposes the bill, saying that it "imposes a one-size fits all mandate on all employers."
