Pregnancy & the Workplace - Illinois Human Rights Act

Do you have 15 or more employees?  If so ...

The new amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act requires all employers in Illinois to post in a conspicuous location on the premises of the employer, where notices to employees are customarily posted, a notice prepared by the Department and to include in any employee handbook information regarding an employee's rights under this amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act regarding pregnancy in the workplace and an employer's obligation to accommodate pregnancy.

PRACTICE TIP:  Make sure you review ALL of your employee postings once a year to determine if there have been any changes.
