NEW: Illinois: Family Bereavement Leave
We have added a new policy for Illinois employers to address family bereavement leave. Illinois requires employers with 50 or more employees and at least one (1) employee in Illinois to provide up to two (2) weeks of unpaid leave annually to eligible employees for the death of a family member and fertility-related losses. Including the policy in the handbook is optional but is recommended to show compliance and to provide employees with information about their rights under the law.
This policy replaces the Illinois Child Bereavement Policy, which has been deleted.
