A BILL FOR

 

SB2621LRB103 34222 SPS 64047 b

1    AN ACT concerning employment.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Day and Temporary Labor Services Act is
5amended by changing Sections 2, 5, 11, 30, 42, 45, 50, 55, 67,
670, and 85 and by adding Sections 2a, 5a, 30a, 45a, 50a, 55a,
770a, and 85a as follows:
 
8    (820 ILCS 175/2)
9    Sec. 2. Legislative findings.
10    (a) The General Assembly finds as follows:
11    Since the passage of this Act, the number of workers who
12work as day or temporary laborers in Illinois has risen from
13approximately 300,000 to more than 650,000 according to data
14collected by the Department of Labor.
15    Since the passage of this Act, the number of day labor and
16temporary labor service agencies registered in Illinois has
17risen from approximately 150 with 600 branch offices to over
18300 with over 800 branch offices. In addition, there still
19exists a significant, though unknown, number of unregistered
20day labor and temporary labor service agencies that operate
21outside the radar of law enforcement.
22    Recent studies and a survey of low-wage day or temporary
23laborers themselves have consistently found that as a group,

 

 

SB2621- 2 -LRB103 34222 SPS 64047 b

1they are particularly vulnerable to abuse of their labor
2rights, including unpaid wages, failure to pay for all hours
3worked, minimum wage and overtime violations, and unlawful
4deductions from pay for meals, transportation, equipment, and
5other items.
6    Current law is inadequate to protect the labor and
7employment rights of these workers.
8    At the same time, in Illinois and in other states,
9democratically run nonprofit day labor centers, which charge
10no fee for their services, have been established to provide an
11alternative for day or temporary laborers to solicit work on
12street corners. These centers are not subject to this Act.
13    (b) This Section is effective on and after January 1,
142025.

25service agencies that operate outside the radar of law
