FAQ

Proving wrongful termination in Illinois will take demonstrating that your employer breached a contract, broke a law, or otherwise fired you based on illegal reasons. You will need sufficient evidence to support your claim, such as witness testimonies or documentation of your experience.

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.

Seyfarth Synopsis: On February 19th and 26th, 2021, Illinois legislatures introduced new bills that, if passed, would get rid of at-will employment, only allowing employers to terminate employees for just-cause, and require severance pay for terminated employees, effective January 1, 2022.

However, notice is not required in Illinois by either party based on the doctrine of employment at will. If an Illinois employer chooses to have a provision in the Employee Handbook stating that the employer will give two weeks' notice prior to termination, then of course the employer is bound by its own policies.

In contrast to the most states, Illinois is considering banning at-will employment as a default principle within its borders.

What does the Illinois bill say? If enacted, the Employee Security Act would take effect January 1, 2022 and impose two obligations on Illinois employers: (1) employers may only terminate employees for just cause, and (2) employers must provide employees with mandatory severance upon termination.

Seyfarth Synopsis: On February 19th and 26th, 2021, Illinois legislatures introduced new bills that, if passed, would get rid of at-will employment, only allowing employers to terminate employees for just-cause, and require severance pay for terminated employees, effective January 1, 2022.

At-will contracts between an employee and an employer mean that the employee may be terminated at any time, for any reason, and the employer does not need to give any notice when this happens. No specific document is needed for this contract, so many workers are surprised to find out about their at-will status.

This document is not a contract, but rather is known as an at-will employment agreement. Employers might ask employees to sign an offer letter, handbook acknowledgment, or other document agreeing to at-will employment, for example.

At-will employment means you can quit or be fired for almost any reason. Right-to-work means you can work for a unionized employer without joining the union. The relevant laws vary from state to state and change over time.
