Cook County and Chicago Update Paid Leave Laws
Crowell & Moring previously reported that new paid leave laws would be in effect at the start of 2024 in Chicago and Illinois. (For more information, see Crowell & Moring’s December 1, 2023 Alert, “New Year Will Bring Changes to Paid Leave in Illinois and Chicago”). The Chicago City Council has now amended its Paid Leave and Paid Sick and Safe Leave Substitute Ordinance (“Amended Chicago Ordinance”), making a number of changes, including delaying the effective date to July 1, 2024. Cook County also followed suit, acting to bring its laws in line with the new Illinois and Chicago paid leave requirements, with the passage of the Cook County Paid Leave Ordinance (“Cook County Ordinance”) at the end of last year.
