FAQ

The employee file should contain a snapshot of the employee's time with your company. The file should include all employee documents relevant to their employment, from the date of hiring to the date of termination. The documents should be in chronological order.

The two-party consent statute requires that employers obtain the informed consent of their employees before they can intercept or record their conversations at work.

Employees of private employers are not entitled to access or a copy of his or her personnel file. However, there are exceptions to this when the employer has a policy allowing access or there is a collective bargaining agreement that gives an employee the right to his or her personnel file.

Private sector employees, however, may only have the right if it is granted by the employer. In Florida, public employees are allowed to see their files and request copies of their contents. The Florida Public Records Act grants you the right to see those files (and to obtain copies).

As of April 2019, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The legislation was signed into effect by Governor J.B. Pritzker, which rolled back the protections that Lincolnshire had established in 2015. The decision was later overruled by the federal court, which ruled that only states have the authority to adopt laws.

Right-to-work laws, prevalent in certain U.S. states, grant employees the freedom to work without being compelled to join or financially support a union as a condition of employment.

Can an employer terminate me without advance notice or without giving a reason or an unfair reason for the termination? Yes. Illinois is an "employment at-will" state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without any reason or cause.

At-will employment solely focuses on either the termination of an employee or when an employee leaves. Right-to-work statutes make employers offer the choice of joining a union or not, but limit their ability to terminate employees if they choose to represent themselves.

Ing to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more jobs have been created in Right-to-Work states as opposed to the other 49 states without Right-to-Work laws. Where employees enjoy the privilege of exclusive representation, unions have the responsibility of representing all workers during contract negotiations.

Indeed, Florida is a right to work state, as is Georgia. This means that employees have the freedom to choose whether or not to join or financially support a union as a condition of employment. This legislation is in place to protect workers' rights and freedoms.
