Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Employment Contract Act. Provides that an employer may not require as a condition or precondition of employment that an employee or person seeking employment waive, arbitrate, or otherwise diminish any future claim, right, or benefit to which the person would otherwise be entitled under State or federal law. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
820 ILCS 15/5 new
Adds reference to:
710 ILCS 5/1.5 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Uniform Arbitration Act. Inserts the provisions contained in the engrossed bill and makes the following changes: (1) excludes from the definition of "employee" persons employed as a managerial, professional, or confidential employee, (2) includes the State of Illinois and other governmental bodies within the scope of the term "employer", and (3) provides that labor unions and employers may agree to arbitration clauses in grievance resolution procedures, but that the existence of an arbitration clause does not waive an employee's individual right to file an action with an administrative agency or court. Effective Immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds a requirement that an arbitration agreement presented to an employee or prospective employee must contain a statement across the top of the document stating that the arbitration agreement is not a precondition of employment.
