Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act

Establishes when, where and how often wages must be paid and prohibits unilateral deductions from wages or final compensation without the employee's consent. IDOL also provides assistance to workers in the collection of wages and final compensation including unused vacation pay, commissions, bonuses or other fringe benefits. State and federal government employees are exempt.
