Introduced Text

Illinois HB3635 amends the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act to redefine "wages" to include severance, back pay, front pay, and other relief.

Illinois HB3635 amends the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act by expanding the definition of "wages" to include any severance, back pay, front pay, or other relief owed to an employee under a separation or severance agreement, employer policy, judicial ruling, or administrative ruling. The bill also redefines "employee" to include individuals to whom an employer owes such compensation. This change ensures that all forms of compensation owed to employees are considered wages under the Act.
