Pritzker Signs Bill Mandating Paid Leave For Nearly All Workers in Illinois

This new law applies to all private sector employers of all sizes and state and local governments. Seasonal workers, federal employees and college students working temporary jobs for their university's are exempt. Employees who already receive at least five days off per year are also not included.

what? a governor that is doing something to benefit the people? how is this possible?

Also a clue on Jeopardy today. Good for him. "Guy who's too rich to be bought and signs obvious things into law while never particularly embarrassing the state and giving the veneer of being a decent human being" is a great role for him.

I am surprised that Republicans do not support giving workers time off. /s

I work remote but for a company out of state, boo. Also I have to pay into that state's family leave but cannot take advantage of it.
