The Illinois Cook County Living Wage Affidavit is a document that employers in Cook County must submit to ensure they are paying their employees according to the Cook County Minimum Wage Law. This law requires employers to pay a living wage, which is higher than the federal and state minimum wage. If an employer fails to pay a living wage, they may be subject to penalties and fines. The affidavit must be filed annually and includes information such as the employer's name, address, number of employees, and the wages paid to each employee. There are two types of Illinois Cook County Living Wage Affidavit: the Standard Affidavit and the Supplemental Affidavit. The Standard Affidavit is the primary affidavit to be completed and includes basic information about the employer and the wages paid to each employee. The Supplemental Affidavit is an additional form that must be completed if an employer pays different wages to different employees.
