Illinois wage and hour laws have undergone major updates over the last two years—ranging from minimum wage increases and enhanced paycheck transparency to expanded protections for employees and stricter recordkeeping requirements. While many employers in Illinois continue to rely on outdated practices, this puts them at serious risk of litigation or Department of Labor audits.
This essential webinar will help HR professionals, payroll managers, and legal counsel understand the latest requirements under the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act (IWPCA) and other key statutes. We’ll focus on how to legally deduct from an employee’s paycheck in light of these changes—covering common scenarios like equipment damage, wage assignments, overpayments, and expense reimbursements.
You'll walk away with practical tools and sample language to ensure your practices are both lawful and defensible.
Join Sean Darke of Dykema as he provides actionable guidance to keep your organization compliant—and out of court.
