California employers soon will no longer be able to require employees to use up to two weeks of PTO or vacation leave before beginning to receive state paid family leave benefits.
Employers in Cook County, Illinois, must soon provide paid leave to all employees who work in the county and allow the leave to be used for any reason an employee chooses.
Paid leave soon will be available to nearly all Illinois workers, as a result of the state legislature's recent passage of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act.
