The State of Illinois has changed its minimum wage notice. The substantive changes are:
* The following paragraph now states that “If an employee’s tips combined with the wages from the employer do not equal the minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference.”
*Under unpaid wages, “earned wages” was added to the list of final compensation. The statement “unauthorized deductions from paychecks are not allowed except as specified by law.
*Under child labor, the statement “Children under the age of 14 may not work in most jobs except under limited conditions” was added. Also, “work is limited to 3 hours per day on school days, 8 hours per day on non-school days and no more than 6 days or 48 hours per week” as well as “a 30 minute meal period is provided no later than the fifth hour of work.”
Condensing the verbiage, “Equal pay for equal work” and “Victims Economic Security and Safety Act” has been added to the minimum wage notice as non-substantive changes.
