Chicago and Cook County, Illinois Paid Sick Leave Ordinances Take Effect

On July 1, the Chicago Paid Sick Leave Ordinance and the Cook County Earned Sick Leave Ordinance went into effect, both of which permit eligible employees to accrue up to 40 hours of paid sick leave in each 12-month period of their employment. During this informative webinar, our Littler attorneys will provide recommendations on ensuring Ordinance compliance, as well as outline the highlights of both Ordinances, including:

• Which employers and employees are covered
• How sick leave is accrued and can be used
• Notice, documentation and recordkeeping requirements
• Enforcement and penalties for non-compliance
• The effect of some municipalities “opting out” of the Cook County Ordinance
