Introduced Text

Illinois HB4987 prohibits using surveillance data in automated wage decisions.

The Surveillance-Based Wage Discrimination Act bans using surveillance data in automated systems that set employee wages. It defines surveillance data as information gathered through observation or inference related to personal characteristics, behaviors, or biometrics. Exemptions apply if wages are based on individual employee data or labor costs. The Attorney General enforces the Act, with violators facing penalties up to $10,000 per violation. Employees can sue for damages, costs, and attorney's fees.
