SB2967

Illinois SB2967 establishes paid leave for menstrual health conditions, allowing employees up to 40 hours annually.

Illinois SB2967, the Menstrual Health Workplace Equity Act, provides employees with up to 40 hours of paid leave per year for menstrual health reasons. If this leave is insufficient, employees can request an additional 40 hours or a hybrid work option. Employers must not take adverse actions against employees for exercising these rights and must post notices about the Act. The Department of Labor is responsible for enforcing the Act, including imposing civil penalties for violations. Employees can file complaints or civil actions if their rights are violated.
