(820 ILCS 191/10)
Sec. 10. Use of leave; limitations.
(a) An employee may use personal sick leave benefits
provided by the employer for absences due to an illness,
injury, or behavioral health or medical appointment of the
employee's child, stepchild, spouse, domestic partner,
sibling, parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandchild,
grandparent, or stepparent, on the same terms upon which the
employee is able to use personal sick leave benefits for the

written verification of the employee's absence from a health
care professional if such verification is required under the
employer's employment benefit plan or paid time off policy.

stepparent to an amount not less than the personal sick leave
that would be earned or accrued during 6 months at the
employee's then current rate of entitlement. For employers who
base personal sick leave benefits on an employee's years of
service instead of annual or monthly accrual, such employer
may limit the amount of sick leave to be used under this Act to
half of the employee's maximum annual grant.
(c) An employer who provides personal sick leave benefits
or a paid time off policy that would otherwise provide
benefits as required under subsections (a) and (b) shall not
be required to modify such benefits.
