Pritzker signs measure guaranteeing five days paid leave for Illinoisans – Capitol News IL

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, workers will begin to earn paid leave on their first day at a rate of one hour of leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours of paid leave for the year. Employees can begin using their paid leave either 90 days after their employment begins or 90 days after the act’s effective date. Ultimately, the measure received a few Republican votes in the House but passed the Senate with only Democratic support.
