In the past few weeks, Illinois Legislators have been working feverishly to advance SB1829, a bill dubbed the Workplace Transparency Act. In an already busy legislative session filled with worker-friendly initiatives, the bill has already passed the Senate and is advancing rapidly through the House, picking up scores of sponsors along the way.
By the end of this week, there’s a very good chance that the Illinois Legislature will place on Governor Pritzker’s desk for his signature HB0252 – a bill that would eliminate the minimum employee threshold, making virtually any employer with as few as one employee subject to all anti-discrimination prohibitions in the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA).
Last week, the Illinois senate approved SBO471 calling for mandatory paid family leave benefits to workers in Illinois. The bill now advances to the Illinois House.
