The updated Chicago Paid Leave and Paid Sick and Safe Leave Ordinance doubles workers' paid time off, allocating 40 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave for unspecified purposes. It also requires large employers to pay out all unused paid leave upon an employee's separation and increases fines and penalties for employers that fail to comply with the ordinance.
