Immediate Changes to Illinois’ Day & Temporary Services Act

On August 4, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law extensive amendments to The Day and Temporary Labor Services Act (Act). They were immediately effective, but the Illinois Department of Labor (Department) has not yet promulgated any guidance or instructions. 
As a result of the amendments, the Act increased penalties, imposed new notice requirements and heightened protections for laborers. Most significantly, temporary workers assigned to a client job site for 90 days or longer will be entitled to receive the same pay and benefits from their staffing companies as workers directly hired by the client company. Temporary workers will also be permitted to refuse assignments at job sites experiencing strikes, lockdowns or other “labor troubles.” Further, temporary workers will be advised of safety hazards present at the job site and will receive training specific to the job site.
