Employee Rights, Pay Requirements, and Restrictive Covenants: What You Need to Know About Illinois Employment Reforms for 2025

Illinois has enacted numerous employment-related laws this year, many of which take effect at the start of 2025. These wide-ranging reforms could have a considerable impact on employers’ policies and day-to-day operations. These changes also bring important legal concerns for employers to understand and address, as they prepare for the new year.

Join Taft for a fast-paced and practical discussion about the multiple changes affecting Illinois employers and employees into 2025, including:

• Significant updates to the Illinois Human Rights Act, adding protected classes and extending the deadline for filing discrimination and retaliation claims.
• Pay transparency in job posting amendments and new pay mandates for temporary workers and independent contractors.
• New employer requirements involving mandatory meetings, personnel records, E-Verify, and more.
• An overview of the ever-changing landscape of restrictive covenants.
