Eligibility
All employees who work in Illinois are eligible for paid leave.
Reasons for Leave
Paid leave may be taken for any reason.
Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked (up to a maximum of 40 hours per leave year) beginning on January 1, 2024, or their first day of employment, whichever is later. If you are classified as exempt, you are presumed to work 40 hours per week, unless you are normally scheduled to work fewer than 40 hours, in which case earned paid leave accrues based on your normal schedule. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is any consecutive 12-month period calendar year. You may begin using paid leave on March 31, 2024, or 90 calendar days after employment begins, whichever is later. You may use up to 40 hours of earned paid leave in a leave year. The smallest increment of paid leave that you may take is two hours. You may carry over up to 40 hours of unused accrued leave to the following leave year; however, you may still only use 40 hours of leave in any given leave year.
Compensation
You will be compensated for paid leave at your regular rate of pay.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must provide seven days’ notice. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence.
Payment upon Termination
You will not be paid for any unused paid leave when your employment ends.
