ASA Files Comments on Proposed Illinois Temporary Worker Rules

ASA has filed comments on new regulations proposed by the Illinois Department of Labor to implement last year’s amendments to the state’s Day and Temporary Labor Services Act. The amendments made significant changes in the law’s equal pay provisions and other rules, including changing the waiting period for employee eligibility for the benefit from 90 days to 720 hours.

The proposed rules do not include provisions relating to the equal benefits provisions of the act that ASA, the Staffing Services Association of Illinois, and several individual staffing firms challenged in court. By agreement of the parties, the court case has been stayed until 45 calendar days after the effective date of final regulations on those provisions. Once benefit rules are published, the parties will assess the status of the lawsuit. You can read the association’s comments at americanstaffing.net.
