FAQ
Many investigations are initiated by complaints, which are confidential. The name of the complainant, the nature of the complaint, and whether a complaint exists may not be disclosed.
The Labor Relations Act (LRA) gives three general categories of conduct considered to be unfair labor practices: retaliation, wrongful pressure, and termination while under collective bargaining agreements. Actions deemed retaliation are prohibited.
An employer commits an unfair labor practice if it interferes with your right to join, organize, or help a union, your right to be involved in collective bargaining, or your right to be involved in protected concerted activities with other employees.
Unfair labor practice: An action by a public employer or a labor organization, which violates the rights guaranteed by the Act to public employees, labor organizations and public employers.

At the end of the day, the most important forms that you are going to have to submit include the I-9, W-4, IL-W-4, and W-9 forms. Once these are complete, your company has to keep up with legal compliance, such as state income taxes, reporting requirements, unemployment insurance, and more.
If you're a sole proprietor or limited liability company (LLC) – and don't employ anyone – you are exempt from posting requirements.
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).
This means that employees cannot be scheduled for more than six (6) days in a row and employers are required to provide one 24-hour rest period within seven consecutive days. This rule applies to all full-time workers in Illinois, with just a few exceptions which we will discuss later in this article.
Can an employer terminate me without advance notice or without giving a reason or an unfair reason for the termination? Yes. Illinois is an "employment at-will" state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without any reason or cause.
