Official description

Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions concerning pay increments to nursing facilities for the purpose of increasing compensation to certified nursing assistants (CNA), provides that such pay increments, including tenure wage increments and promotion-based wage increments, apply to and shall be incorporated into the compensation rate for all CNA employee hours, whether productive or nonproductive, compensated by a nursing facility. Provides that the compensation rate includes paid sick leave, paid vacation, training hours, bereavement leave, holidays, and paid time off. Prohibits an employer participating in the Certified Nursing Assistant Tenure and Promotion Payments program from capping the wage scale increments for CNAs at levels less than the levels detailed in the amendatory Act. Provides that an employer that has attested to reimbursing employees at a wage scale that meets or exceeds the required wage increments, but fails to do so, shall be subject to financial penalties as determined by administrative rule and to specified penalties under the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. Provides that employees not receiving the full CNA tenure and promotion payment wage scale shall be entitled to recovery through a claim filed with the Department of Labor.
