A new change to Illinois law is to the ODRISA law, which stands for “One Day Rest In Seven Act.” While the law currently says that it “provides for employees a minimum of twenty four hours of rest in each calendar week,” according to the Illinois Department of Labor, the wording will change in 2023 and employees can capitalize on it.
Starting on January 1, the act will change to employees having at least 24 hours of rest every consecutive day-period, according to the Illinois General Assembly. This means that the law now applies to everyone that works for six consecutive days, regardless of if the employee’s schedule aligns with a Sunday-Saturday work week. #odrisa, #odrisalaw,
