FAQ
Generally, no, there are no federal laws that limit how many hours you can work in a single day. (Though some state labor laws have maximum hour laws for minors.) The federal law that applies to all employees is the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA. This law does not regulate how many hours you can work in a day.
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).
The Illinois Freedom to Work Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2022, regulates the enforceability of post-employment restrictive covenants such as non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements as never before.
ODRISA requires employers to provide employees with at least 24 hours of rest in every “consecutive seven-day period.” It also requires meal periods of at least 20 minutes every 7.5 hours worked (and an additional 20-minute meal period for employees who work shifts of 12 hours or longer).
SB2872 dictates that Illinois schools should provide "relaxation activities" to students for at least 20 minutes per week. That includes things like mindfulness training, yoga, breathing exercises, quiet time, stretching, meditation, walking, in-person conversation, or other stress-reducing activities.
"Seven Day Permit" - a temporary registration permit as provided in IVC Section 3-403 issued to an Illinois resident for operation of a non-registered vehicle within the State of Illinois for up to 7 days.
In Illinois an employer cannot work you more than 6 days straight without your consent or getting a waiver from the state to do so in some kind of emergency.
Rule 50 defines bodily harm as: Any injury, damage, or impairment to an individual's physical condition, or - such as a bruise, cut, scrap or burn Making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with an individual. The physical contact does not need to leave a mark.
In a 2022 referendum, voters in Illinois approved a state constitutional amendment establishing a right to collective bargaining. The amendment also prevents any future state legislature or local government from passing a right-to-work law.
