A new publication from Greensfelder and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce covering essential updates on employee leave issues is now available.

Greensfelder collaborated with the Chamber’s HR Illinois division to produce this new third edition of  “FMLA, ADA, Military and Other Leave Issues: A Guide for the Illinois Employer.” It is a 25-chapter, 160-page comprehensive guide that covers the latest on each of these important areas of employment law, providing insights on many common leave situations a manager or supervisor may encounter. Topics include disability discrimination laws, reasonable accommodations, FMLA qualifying reasons and calculations, and military leave coverage topics include USERRA, among others.

The Illinois legislature recently passed HB2862 amending the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act (the “Act”). If signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in its current form as expected, it will have significant implications for staffing agencies and their clients (i.e. employers that use staffing agencies to supplement their workforce with non-employee, temporary workers). Gov. Pritzker has 60 days from June 16, 2023, to sign the bill. Once signed, the bill takes effect immediately.
