Illinois has passed a law ordering businesses to give workers paid leave for any reason.

The state becomes one of three that requires employers to offer the generous leave benefits, after Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the law on Mar. 14, which will take effect next year on Jan. 1, reported the Associated Press.
