Bill > SB2042

This bill amends the Paid Leave for All Workers Act by modifying the definition of "employee" to exclude two specific categories of students. First, the bill exempts college or university students who are enrolled in classes, employed by their educational institution for less than an average of 30 hours per week, and not participating in an adult education and literacy program. Second, the bill excludes high school students under 18 years old who are employed on a temporary or less than full-time basis. The changes are part of the broader Act which establishes paid leave requirements for workers in Illinois, with specific definitions for various types of employment and workers. By creating these student exemptions, the bill aims to provide clarity on which types of student workers are not covered under the paid leave regulations, potentially recognizing the unique and often short-term nature of student employment.
