Frequently Asked Questions About Illinois Employment Law
Do I need to give two weeks’ notice when quitting in Illinois? No. Illinois is an at-will state—neither side generally owes notice.
Am I entitled to medical or family leave? Yes, under the federal FMLA if your employer meets the size threshold (50+ employees) and you meet eligibility (12 months/1,250 hours worked). Illinois offers additional protections.
Can I collect unemployment if fired? Often yes—if you lost your job through no fault of your own and are able/available to work while actively searching.
