FAQ
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.
Employees must be allowed to refuse working a “clopen” shift (a shifted separated by less than ten hours after their previous shift ends).
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.
Illinois and federal wage and hour regulations do not set limits on the number of hours employees are permitted to work in a day or week. With few exceptions, the state requires employers to give workers at least 24 hours off in each calendar week.
The Illinois Freedom to Work Act puts other limits on these agreements. Non-compete agreements cannot be used if an employee earns less than $75,000 per year. (Note: this salary baseline increases in 2027 and in 5 year periods after that.)
The One Day Rest in Seven Act (ODRISA) gives workers the right to a day of rest every workweek and breaks for meals or rest during daily work shifts.
To summarize, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The state's legislative landscape reflects a commitment to collective bargaining, union rights, and labor relations characterized by negotiated agreements between employers and unions.
New meal and rest break requirements: Requires employees be given a 20-minute break if working a 12-hour shift or longer, and at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in every consecutive 7-day period, clarifying the day of rest requirements for workers whose schedules don't align with a Sunday to Saturday calendar week.
