Understanding and Implementing the New Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act
1h 17m
In January 2023, the Illinois legislature passed The Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act (PLFAW). The PLFAW makes Illinois the third state to pass a law mandating paid leave for employees for any reason. While the law is not scheduled to go into effect until January 1, 2024, it is important to review your current policies and agreements before the season is in full swing as these changes will significantly impact how the industry conducts business. Among other things, this new law raises a number of questions for employers, including:
1. What does the new Illinois law on paid leave require?
2. Does my organization fall into any exceptions?
3. How does this state law affect the Cook County and Chicago paid sick leave ordinances that my company is already subject to?
In this webinar, we will address these questions and help you develop a game plan for how to implement the changes to your policies, procedures and hiring strategies.
