Overview
On February 8, 2019, the Senate passed Senate Bill 0001 (SB0001). It was passed by the House of Representatives on February 15, 2019 and signed by the Governor into law effective February 19, 2019. While SB1 will raise the minimum wage, the damages for not calculating minimum wage or paying overtime (even if it's caused by clerical mistakes or a rogue supervisor's ignorance) will soon be so financially punitive that a business could face financial peril.
Join Jeff Risch and Sara Zorich as they discuss the Illinois' $15 minimum wage law and what it truly means for employers, and a summary of the key wage and hour issues and problems facing every employer operating in Illinois.
