I was sneezing in the food, sweating, coughing, and feeling faint, and I’m sure I was spreading germs to all my customers. I was less productive, it took more time to get the food out, it was an awful situation to be in. I would stay sick for several days, and even up to a week, and all I really needed was a full day or two to rest and recover. - Luis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1596639459141-PI6N946NAKDMXC5763MW/image-asset.jpeg News & Stories - When I’m sick and I call my supervisor to say I can’t come to work, if I’m lucky he will say I can stay home but then I lose a day’s pay. Going without pay means a janitor might not be able to pay her rent, or might have to cut back on things her kid needs. If I miss one day of work, I have nothing left after I pay my bills. -Milagros https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1595175991021-DTI7R54Q3GWSOAVQG04E/image-asset.jpeg News & Stories - We are not asking for a free benefit package – just being able to stay home a day or two and not worry about not being paid or losing our job. - Karen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1595174227935-POQTEXT38ND74F3K147V/image-asset.jpeg News & Stories - I'm always on duty and my son got sick with the flu so for three days I was home with him with no healthcare, no sick days, no vacation days, because that doesn't come with the job when you're working. So we were at home for three days and it was three days of pay that I lost. - Tina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1595175413119-00E1NT5T7U4AHOQWJZW3/image-asset.jpeg News & Stories - I did my best to keep a sanitary kitchen, but when you're sick with a viral or bacterial infection it is almost impossible not to infect others, as well as the food you're preparing or serving. I recall one evening; I had to go into work sick with a really bad case of the flu. I called in to see if I could stay home, but the owner told me I had two choices; come in or not come back. I had to choose between living in a house or on the streets. - Felipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1595174520822-90VZVVNZX2N0XPTPKVTH/image-asset.jpeg News & Stories - When my son was born, he had a respiratory infection. I had to take unpaid time off work to take care of him. Not only was I not able to make money during this time, but the management said I was taking too much time off. They said I was short staffing them, so they had to let me go. In a short period of time, I was taking care of a sick newborn and had lost my job because of it. - Tammi https://www.sicktimeil.org/about daily 0.75 2024-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e92314d6e69ba1148ec3459/1586667236821-VVGQK7YK3R60DWFKWTZ3/image-asset.jpeg About - Allows full- and part-time workers in Illinois to earn up to 5 days (40 hours) of paid time off each year.
