The Illinois Notice of Motion For Wage Deduction Exemption Hearing is a form used to provide notice of a hearing in Illinois to determine if state laws allow wage deductions from a worker’s paycheck. The purpose of the hearing is to decide whether the proposed wage deductions are prohibited by the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, or any other applicable law. The hearing is held before a judge or hearing officer, and the employer and employee must both be present. The hearing may result in a determination that the employee is entitled to a wage deduction exemption, or that the employer may proceed with the proposed deductions. There are two types of Illinois Notice of Motion For Wage Deduction Exemption Hearings: 1) Exemption Request Hearing, and 2) Response Hearing. The Exemption Request Hearing is the initial hearing where the employee requests an exemption from the proposed wage deductions, while the Response Hearing is the hearing that follows the Exemption Request Hearing, in which the employer must respond to the employee's request.
