The public access area must also be used for other applicable state and federal workplace postings.

- Equal pay requirements for qualifying temporary workers
- The right to refuse certain assignments involving labor disputes

Equal Pay for Illinois Temporary Workers
Illinois law provides additional compensation protections for qualifying day and temporary laborers who work at the same third-party client for more than 720 hours within a 12-month period, beginning with qualifying hours worked on or after April 1, 2024.
Depending on the circumstances, a qualifying temporary laborer must receive compensation based on the pay of an applicable directly hired employee performing the same or substantially similar work or another compensation method permitted by Illinois law.
Qualifying temporary workers can also be entitled to substantially similar benefits or the applicable cash equivalent of those benefits.
Safety and Hazard Training
Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies have specific responsibilities concerning worker safety and hazard training.
On or before a laborer's first day working at a client company each year, the agency must provide applicable general safety training addressing known hazards at that client company.
The safety training must be provided at no cost to the temporary laborer, and workers must be paid for the time spent completing required training.
Employment Notice at the Time of Dispatch
Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies must provide workers with an employment notice when they are dispatched to an assignment.
The notice includes information concerning the assignment, such as:
- The nature of the work to be performed
- The wages to be paid
- The name and location of the third-party client
- Transportation arrangements
- Meals or equipment provided
- Applicable costs associated with meals or equipment
- Applicable workplace safety and hazard information
Right to Refuse an Assignment During a Labor Dispute
Temporary laborers have important rights when an assignment involves a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute.
At or before dispatch, the agency must provide the worker with written information about an applicable labor dispute in a language the worker understands.
The worker must also be informed that they have the right to refuse the assignment without retaliation or prejudice to receiving another assignment.
Wage Payment and Paycheck Information
Illinois requires Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies to provide workers with detailed wage information when wages are paid.
Applicable information can include:
- Identification of each third-party client where the laborer worked
- Hours worked at each client company
- Rate of pay
- Premium or bonus pay when applicable
- Total earnings
- Itemized deductions
- Applicable placement fee information
Transportation Rights
Illinois law provides protections concerning transportation of day and temporary laborers.
A Day and Temporary Labor Service Agency, third-party client, or applicable contractor or agent generally may not charge a temporary laborer a fee for transportation to or from the designated worksite.
What if a Worker Is Sent to a Job but No Work Is Available?
Illinois law establishes minimum compensation requirements when a temporary laborer is sent to a third-party client but is not utilized by that client.
Depending on whether the worker is given another assignment during the same shift, the agency may be required to provide minimum reporting compensation under the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act.
Single-Day Assignments
For temporary laborers contracted to work a single day, Illinois requires the third-party client to provide applicable work-verification information at the end of the workday.
The verification includes information such as the employee's name, work location, date, and hours worked.
Placement Fees
Illinois regulates fees that a Day and Temporary Labor Service Agency may charge a third-party client when the client hires a temporary laborer directly.
The current Illinois worker-rights notice explains that applicable conversion or placement fees cannot be charged after the worker has performed work for the period established by Illinois law.
Applicable wage notices must also contain required information concerning placement fees and the remaining time before a placement fee can no longer be charged.
Agency Registration
Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies located in or transacting business in Illinois must register with the Illinois Department of Labor.
Registration requirements include providing applicable information concerning unemployment insurance and workers' compensation coverage and satisfying other requirements established by Illinois law.
Protection Against Retaliation
Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies and third-party clients may not unlawfully retaliate against workers for exercising rights protected by the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act.
Protected activities can include filing a complaint, participating in an investigation or proceeding, reporting a violation, exercising applicable workplace safety rights, or refusing an assignment because of an applicable labor dispute.
Electronic Notice Requirements
When a Day and Temporary Labor Service Agency communicates with its laborers electronically, Illinois law also requires applicable notices to be made available electronically.
The agency may provide required notices by email or through a website regularly used to communicate work-related information that workers can access freely and without interference.
Electronic notice does not eliminate the requirement to maintain the applicable physical notice at each work location or branch office.
What Language Must the Notice Be Posted In?
The required Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act notice must be provided in English and any other language generally understood in the locale of the agency.
This product is available in English and Spanish. Employers should determine whether another language version is necessary for their workforce or location.
Is the Illinois Temporary Worker Poster Required?
Yes. Illinois requires Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies to post and keep posted the applicable worker-rights notice at each work location or branch office in a location easily accessible to temporary laborers.
This is an industry-specific posting requirement and is not a general poster required of every Illinois employer.
Does This Poster Replace Other Illinois Labor Law Posters?
No. Day and Temporary Labor Service Agencies must also display other applicable Illinois and federal workplace notices.
The Illinois Day & Temporary Labor Services Act Poster is a supplemental industry-specific notice that should be displayed in addition to other required workplace postings.
