On August 30, 2023, the Illinois Department of Labor published FAQs to provide additional information on the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (the Act), which we reported on in a previous edition of Compliance Corner. As a reminder, the Act is effective January 1, 2024, and will require covered Illinois employers to provide paid leave to certain employees.
The FAQs cover topics such as the Act’s interaction with employers’ existing time off policies, the application of the rules on various employee groups, and how accrued leave is treated upon termination.
Covered employers should continue to monitor the FAQs for further guidance as we approach the January 1, 2024, effective date.
