“Working families face enough challenges without the concern of losing a day’s pay when life gets in the way.'
When Joan Van is sick, she doesn't get paid.
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.”with an equitable work/life balance," she said in an emailed statement. “However, Senate Bill 208 failed to address the concerns of those providing that work environment.”
Small business owners face steep inflation, increased fuel and energy costs and an absence of qualified workers, and the requirement will be an "additional burden," NFIB state director Chris Davis said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “The message from Illinois lawmakers is loud and clear, ‘Your small business isn’t essential.’"
