The Illinois Employee Classification Act
Employers in the construction industry have been significantly impacted by the Illinois Employee Classification Act, which became effective on January 1st of 2008. A broad definition essentially covers all Illinois general contractors and subcontractors in the construction industry. Aimed at addressing the industry’s perceived “practice of misclassifying employees as independent contractors,” the Act provides that any individual performing services for a contractor must be classified as an employee except under very limited circumstances.
Here is a link to the text of the Employee Classification Act.
