Each Employer shall maintain for at least five years, or for the duration of any claim, civil action, or investigation pending pursuant to this chapter, whichever is longer, a record of each Covered Employee’s name and addresses, hours worked, pay rate, wage agreement, number of paid time off hours earned for each year and the dates on which paid time off hours were taken and paid, and records necessary to demonstrate compliance with this chapter. Each Employer who has an Employee whose regular work duties take place within the geographical boundaries of Chicago shall maintain this same information. Failure to maintain these records shall create a presumption, rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence, that the Employer violated this Chapter 6-130 for the periods for which records were not retained for each Covered Employee. Each Employer shall provide each Covered Employee a copy of the records relating to such Covered Employee upon the Covered Employee’s request.
