Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 2799

Amends the Department of Employment Security Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois and the Department of Labor Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Department of Employment Security rather than the Department of Labor shall monitor the employment progress of women and minorities in the workforce and report to the General Assembly. Amends the Nurse Agency Licensing Act. Requires the nurse agency to check the Health Care Worker Registry (rather than contact the Department of Public Health) before employing, assigning, or referring a certified nurse aide to verify that the certified nurse aide is eligible to be hired by health care employers or long-term care facilities pursuant to the Health Care Worker Background Check Act.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Employee Sick Leave Act. Adds to the definition of "personal sick leave benefits" paid or unpaid time accrued and available to an employee as provided through an employment benefit plan or policy. Provides that an employment benefit plan or paid time off policy does not include long term disability, short term disability, an insurance policy, or other comparable benefit plan or policy. Adds a stepchild and domestic partner to the list of persons for whom an employee may use personal sick leave benefits. Provides that an employer may request written verification of the employee's absence from a health care professional if such verification is required under the employer's employment benefit plan or paid time off policy; and that for employers who base personal sick leave benefits on an employee's years of service instead of annual or monthly accrual, such employer may limit the amount of sick leave to be used under the Act to half of the employee's maximum annual grant. In a provision prohibiting retaliation, provides that nothing prohibits an employer from applying the terms and conditions set forth in the employment benefit plan or paid time off policy applicable to personal sick leave benefits. Provides that the Act does not apply to: (i) an employee of an employer subject to certain provisions of the Railway Labor Act; or (ii) an employer or employee as defined in either the federal Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act or the Federal Employers' Liability Act. Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed to invalidate, diminish, or otherwise interfere with any collective bargaining agreement nor shall it be construed to invalidate, diminish, or otherwise interfere with any party's power to collectively bargain such an agreement; and that the Act does not apply to any other employment expressly exempted under rules adopted by the Department of Labor as necessary to implement the Act in accordance with applicable State and federal law. Grants the Department rulemaking authority. Effective immediately.
