Illinois Requirements Complete

XpertHR is on track to have all 50 states and Washington DC by the end of July. We are completing states on a rolling basis until then and are now up to 23 states, with the completion of four states this week.

Our Illinois Employment Law Coverage

XpertHR covers the complete spectrum of labor and employment law for Illinois employers. For example, did you know:

  • If an employee requests access to his or her personnel records, Illinois employers with five or more employees must allow the employee to inspect those records within seven days of the request.
  • Under the state's Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act (VESSA), an employer with 15 to 49 employees must give a domestic violence victim or sexual violence victim (or family or household members of a victim) at least eight weeks of unpaid leave in a one-year period. A domestic violence or sexual violence victim (or a family member of a victim) who is employed by an employer with 50 or more employees is entitled to up to 12 weeks of leave.
  • All Illinois employers are required to report all newly hired employees, and returning employees who have been off the employer's payroll for at least 180 days, to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), New Hire Directory. Reports must be submitted within 20 calendar days of the employee's start date.

This is but a taste of the depth and breadth provided to our Illinois subscribers!
