FAQ
Can an employer require direct deposit? No.
In Illinois an employer cannot work you more than 6 days straight without your consent or getting a waiver from the state to do so in some kind of emergency.
Sometimes, emergencies happen or there are extenuating circumstances in which an employer desperately needs employees to work more than 6 days in a row. In these cases, the employer must obtain a waiver from the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) granting permission to have employees work seven consecutive days.
Senate Bill 3146 changes this. It establishes that non-exempt employees in Illinois must have at least one day of rest in each successive seven-day time period, no matter where those days are on a calendar week.
This means that employees cannot be scheduled for more than six (6) days in a row and employers are required to provide one 24-hour rest period within seven consecutive days. This rule applies to all full-time workers in Illinois, with just a few exceptions which we will discuss later in this article.
