Illinois Employment Law
Illinois provides strong protections for workers through a combination of state statutes and federal employment laws. In many cases, Illinois law expands on federal protections, offering employees additional rights and remedies.
Our attorneys are experienced in navigating Illinois-specific employment laws, including:
- The Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) – prohibiting workplace discrimination and harassment
- The Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act (IWPCA) – governing wage payments and final paychecks
- The Illinois Minimum Wage Law (IMWL) – establishing wage and overtime requirements
- The Illinois Whistleblower Act (740 ILCS 174) – protecting employees who report unlawful conduct
We represent employees across Illinois in disputes against employers of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations.
