(A) The City Council finds that the city's Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual, as amended, which was adopted on May 14, 2002, by Ord. 02-06; and the agreement between the City of Oakbrook Terrace and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police which was approved November 23, 2021, require the city to give therein-described paid leave to city employees and anticipates that the city's Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual, as amended, and the agreement between the City of Oakbrook Terrace and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police will remain in effect on and after January 1, 2024, the effective date of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.). Therefore, pursuant to § 15(p) of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, § 15(p)) the provisions of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.) do not apply to the city.
(B) In the event that the city's Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual, as amended, and/or the agreement between the City of Oakbrook Terrace and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police are not in effect on or after January 1, 2024, the effective date of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.), and to the extent that any provision of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.) thereby applies to the city, the City Council determines that the provisions of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.) shall not apply to the city, as a municipal employer. The city and all of its employees are hereby exempted and excluded from the application of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.). The city hereby affirms, ratifies and adopts its current leave policies for its employees as set forth in the city's Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual and any collective bargaining agreements to which the city is a party, as the same may be amended from time-to-time. This section governs over and supersedes all provisions of the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.) impacting the employment relationship between the city and its employees. This section, once adopted, shall apply to all employees of the city, provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect the validity or change the terms of currently existing collective bargaining agreements to which the city is a party. No additional obligations with regard to mandatory paid leave, including, without limitation, any obligations imposed by the Paid Leave for All Workers Act (ILCS Ch. 820, Act 192, §§ 1 et seq.), shall apply to the city in its capacity as an employer, except those required by federal or State of Illinois laws and regulations preempting the city's home rule authority.
