Hello. My question is about the state of Illinois.
I am wondering if there are any limits to the amount of time an employer can legally have an employee stand (as in: up straight, as opposed to sitting) while on the job. This may be such a simple thing that there is no law or statute. But if there is, I would like to take a look at it. I also need to know if any such legal limit is affected by things such as frequency of breaks, the availability of something to lean on, predictable lulls in business, etc.
For example, if an employee is working upright at a cash register, must the employer allow them to sit if there are no customers?
As a follow-up, is any of this affected by disabilities, such as if an employee has back problems, etc?
Thank you for reading.
