New Bill Requires Employers To Give All Employees Paid Sick Days

(Springfield, IL) — A new bill is moving through the Statehouse that would require all employers to give every employee a week of paid sick days. The Healthy Workplace Act is designed to help part-time and low-wage earning employees. The bill’s sponsor says people are often forced to choose between working or losing pay to take care of family or attend to health care matters.
