Paid Leave for All Workers Policy
(IL)

Summary

This is a paid leave policy that sets forth employees' entitlement to paid leave for any reason under the Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate clauses. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. It is intended for private employers. For a non-jurisdictional employee handbook, see Employee Handbook. The template's language has been customized to comply with Illinois and federal law. Local laws may also require employers to offer additional paid leave to employees. Therefore, you should check local laws for any paid leave requirements.
