HB 2862, which amends the Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act, passed the Illinois legislature earlier this month and is on Gov. J. B. Pritzker’s desk awaiting signature. The amendments are scheduled to take effect July 1. Although ASA advocacy secured significant improvements in the bill that will reduce the administrative burden on staffing agencies, the new law will, among other things, require them to provide pay to their temporary employees who have worked more than 90 calendar days that is the same as or similar to pay and benefits paid to client employees working similar jobs. ASA has asked that those provisions be delayed until final rules are issued. In the meantime, however, staffing agencies will be expected to make good faith efforts to comply.
