Illinois Code § 45

§ 45.

Effect on other laws and employment benefits. (a) More protective laws, agreements, programs, and plans. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to supersede any provision of any federal, State, or local law, collective bargaining agreement, or employment benefits program or plan that provides: (1) greater leave benefits for victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender violence, or any other crime of violence than the rights established under this Act; or (2) leave benefits for a larger population of victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender violence, or any other crime of violence (as defined in such law, agreement, program, or plan) than the victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender violence, or any other crime of violence covered under this Act. (b) Less protective laws, agreements, programs, and plans. The rights established for employees who are victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender violence, or any other crime of violence and employees with a family or household member who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender violence, or any other crime of violence under this Act shall not be diminished by any federal, State or local law, collective bargaining agreement, or employment benefits program or plan.
