Report Link Illinois Minimum Wage Increase Sent to Governor (pdf).
Vedder Price - December 08, 2006
On November 30, 2006, the Illinois legislature increased the state’s minimum hourly rate to $7.50. This one-dollar increase is expected to be signed by the governor and will take effect July 1, 2007. The minimum wage will continue to increase by 25 cents a year until it reaches $8.25 on July 1, 2010. In order to lessen the impact on Illinois businesses, employers will be permitted to pay 50 cents less per hour to employees under the age of 18, and to new employees during the fi rst 90 days of their employment.
