IL HB2763

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil rights violation for employers to refuse reasonable workplace accommodations for employees protected under domestic violence orders of protection.

Required accommodations include changing contact information, screening phone calls, restructuring job duties, changing work location, installing security devices, and allowing flexible hours.

Employers are exempt from providing accommodations if they cause undue hardship, defined as significant difficulty or expense considering the nature and cost of the accommodation, employer financial resources and size, and operational type.

Employers may verify an employee's order of protection status under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 before providing accommodations.
