Learn how to set up QuickBooks Payroll to track paid leave in Illinois.
Illinois has implemented a paid leave law called the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (PLAWA). This law guarantees most workers in Illinois 40 hours of paid time off each year for any reason. It'll take effect on January 1, 2024.
To learn more, see the Paid Leave for All Workers Act FAQ.
Additional details about IL PLAWA
- Existing Paid Time Off (PTO) Policies: Employers with preexisting paid leave policies that provide employees at least 40 hours of paid leave and offer employees the option to take paid leave for any reason are exempt from modifying their policies to comply with the Act.
- Accrual: Paid leave can be accrued at a rate of one hour for every 40 hours worked
- Carryover: All accrued but unused paid leave must carry over from one 12-month period to the next. Employers may establish a reasonable policy restricting employees’ ability to carry over more than 80 hours of unused paid leave.
- Frontloading: Instead of accruing paid leave as work is performed, employers may frontload paid leave upon hire and at the beginning of each 12-month period after that.
- Employee usage: Accrual of paid leave is required to begin on January 1, 2024. Employees aren't entitled to begin using accrued paid leave until 90 days after the Act’s effective date or the start of employment. Therefore, the earliest day any employee can take time off is March 31, 2024.
