\"illinoisBeginning January 1, 2017, the Illinois Domestic Workers Bill of Rights law takes effect, following Governor Rauner’s signing of the bill on August 12th<\/a>. Illinois becomes the seventh state to provide protections to domestic workers, following New York, Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Domestic\u00a0workers that are\u00a0regularly employed for at least eight hours a week are now covered by the new law; occasional babysitters are excluded from coverage. The law also\u00a0covers live-in employees, and\u00a0workers\u00a0either employed by an agency or those hired directly by\u00a0a household.<\/p>\n

The Illinois Minimum Wage Law will now apply to domestic workers in that state (currently $8.25 per hour), as well as the\u00a0One Day Rest in Seven Act, which provides\u00a0employees with\u00a0at least 24 hours of rest in each calendar week and a 20-minute\u00a0meal break\u00a0for every 7.5 hours\u00a0worked. Domestic workers will\u00a0also be\u00a0covered by the Illinois Human Rights Act which\u00a0provides protections\u00a0against sexual harassment, and the Wages of Women and Minors Act, which prevents employers from paying “an oppressive and unreasonable wage” to\u00a0women and minors.<\/p>\n
