IL HB3663

Amends the Employee Sick Leave Act to allow employees to use sick leave for behavioral health appointments of specified family members, including children, spouses, domestic partners, siblings, parents, in-laws, grandchildren, and grandparents.

Employees may use sick leave for behavioral health appointments on the same terms as they use sick leave for their own illness or injury.

Employers may limit sick leave use for family members' behavioral health appointments to no less than the amount accrued during 6 months at the employee's current rate of entitlement, or half of the maximum annual grant for employers using years-of-service-based sick leave.

Employers may request written verification from a health care professional for absences if required under their employment benefit plan or paid time off policy.

Employers who already provide sick leave or paid time off policies meeting these requirements are not required to modify existing benefits.
