Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

820 ILCS 140/8

(820 ILCS 140/8) (from Ch. 48, par. 8h)

Sec. 8.

The Director of Labor shall grant permits authorizing the
employment of persons on days of rest designated pursuant to Section 4
of this Act.  Such permits shall not authorize the employment of persons
for 7 days a week for more than 8 weeks in any one year, unless the
Director finds that the necessity for employment of persons on their
designated day of rest cannot be remedied by increasing the number of
employees or by adjusting production schedules.  The Director of Labor
shall give due consideration to business necessity and economic
viability in granting such permits.
