Chicago employers are now subject to Section 1-24-045 of the Chicago Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Ordinance, which requires employers to provide certain amounts of paid sick leave to employees in Chicago. The Paid Sick Leave law applies to all employers with a business facility in Chicago and/or employers that are subject to license requirements under Title 4 of the Chicago Municipal Code (Businesses, Occupations and Consumer Protection), and the employer must employ at least one “Covered Employee.”
