Chicago's updated paid leave and sick and safe leave rules mandate employers to provide paid leave at the prevailing wage rate, grant paid leave to employees who work remotely within the city, and allow unused paid leave and paid sick leave to carry over between benefits years. They also establish minimums and standards for paid leave accrual, carryover of paid leave across benefit years, and paid leave usage, and create a complaint filing and investigation process for noncompliant employers.
