Illinois poised to mandate paid leave for nearly all workers twill
The East St. Louis-area restaurant server and single mother of three said she works doubles to make up the money when she or one of her children gets sick.
Seasonal workers such as lifeguards will be exempt, as will federal employees or college students who work non-full-time, temporary jobs for their university. Johnae Strong, an administrative worker at a small media company in Chicago, said paid sick time helps her take care of her two children, a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old. But expanding the time to be used for any reason would be helpful.
Peoria Democratic Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth sponsored the bill, which she said will"help to uplift working families" and"immediately help people." "We're thrilled that this is getting passed and that it's going to be signed. But it's also a little bit frightening because, you know, a week's worth of time -- I don't know what that would do to our business," Allison-Seei said."I think a lot of businesses are just doing the very best that they can to stay afloat."
