Employers in Illinois are being advised to review and update their workplace policies as new employment laws are set to take effect in 2026. The upcoming changes will require businesses across the state to make adjustments to remain compliant with state regulations.

Kevin Schmidt, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023, representing the 114th House District. He succeeded LaToya Greenwood in this role.

Employers are encouraged to stay informed about these legal updates and ensure their organizations are prepared for compliance as the new year approaches.
