Illinois & Chicago Mandatory Paid Leave: What LTC Needs to Know

DATE: Thursday, December 21, 2023
Noon – 1 p.m. CST

COURSE DESCRIPTION

For Illinois employers, the Paid Leave for All Workers Act goes into effect January 1, 2024, and it signifies a paradigm shift in workforce management by giving employees the right to earn up to 40 hours of paid leave per year based on hours worked. And in Chicago, the City Council passed the Chicago Paid Leave and Paid Sick and Safe Leave Ordinance, which creates a separate obligation for employers to provide staff working in Chicago the ability to earn up to 40 hours of paid leave and up to 40 hours of paid sick leave per 12-month accrual period, with a total entitlement of up to 80 hours of paid time off per 12-month period.

Helping you navigate these new regulations are Aimee E. Delaney and Tom H. Luetkemeyer, partners with Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP.

Join this free webinar to:

  • Learn how these regulations impact all long-term care providers and their employees, including part-time, full time, and seasonal employees.

  • Identify paid leave accrual options, carry-over rules, records requirements, and potential penalties.

  • Recognize potential hurdles in changing policy, particularly on the issues of pre-existing paid leave policies exemption, remote employee coverage, and requesting and using paid leave rate of pay.

Appropriateness of Drug Therapy

Modern medicines have contributed to longer life spans and improved quality of life. However, when not used appropriately, effectively, and safely, medications can have devastating consequences.

Plants or Pills? The Truth About Dietary Supplements

The use of dietary supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, plant products, and herbal therapies has become a routine part of the American lifestyle. But often, these items are marketed as having benefits that are unsubstantiated; do not carry adequate warnings about when they interfere with lab tests; interfere with prescribed drugs; and may be completely misused by the patient because they are “all-natural” and “must be safe, right?” Health and senior care professionals are relied upon by patients/residents and their families to have accurate information about the uses and effects of these products. Using evidence-based research, we will review the current clinical findings and safety profiles of numerous over-the-counter products used by seniors for various medical and psychological conditions. Armed with these facts, health/senior care providers will be able to advise their residents and families with more confidence.		 MORE INFO
