Illinois

Although there appear to be some changes coming to Illinois employment laws this year (amendments that have passed by the Illinois Legislature and await the Governor's signature), likely because it is an election year, none of the changes should cause too much consternation for Illinois employers, particularly when compared to some of the changes that were proposed but which did not pass, which we summarize at the end.

Illinois is set to become one of the first states in the country to offer protections for workers experiencing menopause-related conditions under its employment discrimination laws.
