Report Link New Illinois Law Provides Penalties for Misclassifying Employees as Independent Contractors.
Ogletree Deakins - August 21, 2007
On August 6, 2007, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich signed into law H.B. 1795, the Employee Classification Act. Under the new law, construction workers are automatically deemed to be employees of the contractor unless the worker meets the specific exceptions set forth in the Act. As Governor Blagojevich explained, the purpose of the new law is "to increase protections for workers" by ensuring they are protected by basic employment and labor laws and "to help law-abiding contractors, who are being underbid by contractors who misclassify their workers [as independent contractors]."
