As of April 2019, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The legislation was signed into effect by Governor J.B. Pritzker, which rolled back the protections that Lincolnshire had established in 2015. The decision was later overruled by the federal court, which ruled that only states have the authority to adopt laws.
New Illinois laws, including a sports wagering tax increase, take effect on July 1, 2024. Also increasing July 1 is the tax on sports wagering.

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.
At will employment All states, except Montana, allow "at will" employment. This means that an employer or employee can end the employment at any time, for any reason. However, the reason for termination cannot be illegal.
So it is important to keep in mind that working in a right to work state like Virginia does NOT mean that: You have the right to your job. Your employer has to provide you a reason for your termination.
