This ordinance will affect companies of more than 50 employees nationwide, and workers who make less than $50,000 a year, either salaried or hourly. Exempt employees include construction, railway workers, and City of Chicago sister agency workers, and those under a collective bargaining agreement (ie union contract) for the life of the current contact.
By our best projections, this ordinance will affect around 250,000 workers in the City of Chicago.
