Complete·8/1/25

Illinois SB2164 amends the Wage Payment and Collection Act to change administrative fees and penalties for unpaid wages.

Illinois SB2164 modifies the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act by adjusting administrative fees for wage claims and altering penalties for unpaid wages. Employers must pay a non-waivable administrative fee to the Department of Labor based on the amount of wages owed. The fee is $250 for amounts up to $3,000, $500 for amounts between $3,000 and $10,000, and $1,000 for amounts over $10,000. The bill also changes penalties for employers who fail to pay wages, with fines increasing based on the amount owed and the number of violations.
