AN ACT concerning veterans.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Military Code of Illinois is amended by | ||||
adding Section 22-10 as follows: | ||||
(20 ILCS 1805/22-10 new) | ||||
Sec. 22-10. Notice of provisions of Service Member's | ||||
Employment Tenure Act. Whenever a member of the Illinois | ||||
National Guard is called to active military duty pursuant to a | ||||
declaration of war by the Congress or by the President under | ||||
the War Powers Act or by the Governor in time of declared | ||||
emergency or for quelling civil insurrection, the Adjutant | ||||
General shall ensure that the member is expeditiously given | ||||
written notice of the provisions of Sections 4 and 4.5 of the | ||||
Service Member's Employment Tenure Act. | ||||
Section 10. The Service Member's Employment Tenure Act is | ||||
amended by adding Section 4.5 as follows: | ||||
(330 ILCS 60/4.5 new) | ||||
Sec. 4.5. Copy of employment offer. | ||||
(a) If an employer has given an individual a date upon | ||||
which that individual is to commence performing services for | ||||
the employer but the individual is called to active military | ||||
duty pursuant to a declaration of war by the Congress or by the | ||||
President under the War Powers Act or by the Governor in time | ||||
of declared emergency or for quelling civil insurrection before | ||||
the date on which the individual's services were to have | ||||
commenced, then the employer, upon request made by the | ||||
individual, shall provide the individual with a written copy of | ||||
the employment offer. The written copy of the employment offer | ||||
must include at least the following: | ||||
(1) A statement repeating the offer of work and the | ||
date on which the services were to be first performed. | ||
(2) A statement describing the job title or duties to | ||
be performed. | ||
(3) A statement showing the remuneration offered. | ||
(4) The signature of the employer. | ||
(b) If an individual, upon honorable discharge from the | ||
military or satisfactory completion of his or her military | ||
service under the laws of the United States, is at the time of | ||
such discharge or completion of duty still qualified to perform | ||
the duties of the position for which he or she was first | ||
offered employment, and if the individual makes application | ||
with the employer within 90 days after he or she is relieved | ||
from such military service, then the individual shall be given | ||
preference for employment with that employer. If circumstances | ||
have so changed as to make it impossible or unreasonable for | ||
the employer to employ the individual immediately, however, the | ||
individual shall remain eligible to begin such employment for a | ||
period of up to one year after the date the individual first | ||
notified the employer of his or her desire to perform such | ||
services. | ||
(c) This Section does not apply if the original offer of | ||
work was limited to part-time employment, temporary | ||
employment, or casual labor. | ||
(d) Nothing in this Section shall require an employer to | ||
hold a job position open, violate any employment law, | ||
collectively bargained employment recall, or other employment | ||
obligation, or create additional employment to satisfy the | ||
requirements of this Section.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
