(820 ILCS 147/20)
Sec. 20.
Compensation.
An employee who utilizes or seeks to utilize the
rights afforded by this Act may choose the opportunity to make up the time so
taken as guaranteed by this Act on a different day or shift as directed by the
employer. An employee who exercises his rights under this Act shall not be
required to make up the time taken, but if such employee does not make up the
time taken, such employee shall not be compensated for the time taken. An
employee who does make up the time taken shall be paid at the same rate as paid
for normal working time. Employers shall make a good faith effort to permit an
employee to make up the time taken for the purposes of this Act. If no
reasonable opportunity exists for the employee to make up the time taken, the
employee shall not be paid for the time. A reasonable opportunity to make up
the time taken does not include the scheduling of make-up time in a manner that
would require the payment of wages on an overtime basis. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section, if unpaid leave under this Act conflicts with
the unreduced compensation requirement for exempt employees under the federal
Fair Labor Standards Act, an employer may require an employee to make up the
leave hours within the same pay period.
