Illinois teachers who have received the COVID vaccine will get paid COVID-19 time off under a bill Gov. JB Pritzker signed.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Handing a win to the Chicago Teachers Union, Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday signed into law a measure that will allow fully vaccinated teachers and other school employees to take COVID-19 related paid time off without burning up sick days.

The compromise bill that passed the Legislature last week will also return COVID-19 related sick days to vaccinated employees who had to use them earlier in the school year. "We have educators who saved their sick time to take after the birth of a child, who have since run out of days and are forced with a very difficult decision - to take unpaid time off or to cut precious bonding time with their newborn short and return to work early," Illinois Education Association president Kathi Griffin told the Sun-Times in a statement.

Retroactive?
