Illinois' New Paid Leave Law:  Updating Your Paid Leave Policy to Comply with NEW Illinois Paid Leave Law Mandates

August 15 @ 10:00am - 11:30am (webinar)

With few exceptions, Illinois will soon require ALL employers to provide paid time off to workers. Effective January 1, 2024, the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (PLFAW) will require Illinois employers, regardless of size, to offer 40 hours of paid leave to every employee – full and part time – for any reason.

Join us for this conversation about actual proactive, creative and positive steps towards updating existing paid leave policies in order to diminish the negative effects of the new mandates and help employers address the new mandates in the most efficient way possible.

While the law will not require employers who already offer employees 40 hours of leave each year to modify their existing leave allotments of paid time off, there are still rough waters to navigate in order to ensure your business complies with the new law.

Key mandates include:

·     Posting requirements

·     Record keeping mandates

·     Carryover allowances

·     Anti-retaliation provisions

Further, there are some exceptions that should be identified and thoroughly examined as well, including the impact on employers with a union workforce. In this 90-minute webinar, Management-Side Labor & Employment Attorney, Jeff Risch, with the law firm of AmundsenDavis LLC, will provide his insights as he thoroughly examines the new mandates while providing employers with practical guidance going forward.
