Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Projects Act
|
|
Also known as the “Preference to Illinois Citizens Act”, requires contractors to use Illinois laborers on all public works construction and improvement projects during a period of “excessive unemployment”. Excessive unemployment is defined as any month immediately following 2 consecutive calendar months that the Illinois unemployment rate exceeds 5%. IDOL takes action against employers who hire non-Illinois workers on public projects if Illinois workers were available and qualified.
