New Laws In Illinois To Impact Small Businesses
Several laws will go into effect in 2024, including Senate Bill 2034, which extends bereavement time for workers when dealing with the loss of a child. Other measures include the previous General Assembly’s Senate Bill 208, which mandates paid time off to be used for any reason.
Noah Finley of the National Federation of Independent Business says dividing time off for small businesses has been a struggle in the past.
Finley says he hopes the new laws will help attract workers to the workforce.
Other laws going into effect in 2024 include the Fair Wage Act in Chicago and the Blood and Organ Donation Leave Act, which allows workers to take time off to give blood.
