The Illinois law that applies is called the “One Day Rest in Seven Act” (or, “ODRISA”). In addition to requiring one day off for every consecutive seven-day period, the Act also requires a minimum 20-minute meal break if you work at least 7.5 hours a day (which has to be given within the first 5 hours of the shift).
