In response to the pandemic, the City of Chicago issued an ordinance that protects employees from retaliation by their employer for obeying certain health orders.
More specifically, you could be entitled to reinstatement, triple your lost wages, and your attorney’s fees, if you were disciplined for complying with a doctor’s orders not to come into work when you were exhibiting symptoms, had tested positive for COVID, or your workplace had been closed by a health official.
If you have questions about how Chicago’s ordinance might protect you, contact us for a free, 30-minute consultation with an employment lawyer.
