(820 ILCS 405/1402.1) Sec. 1402.1. Processing fee. A. The Director may, by rule, establish a processing fee of $50 with regard to a report of contributions due that is not required to be submitted electronically if the employer fails to submit the report on the form designated by the Director or otherwise provide all of the information required by the form designated by the Director. With respect to the first instance of such a failure after the effective date of the rule, the Director shall issue the employer a written warning instead of a processing fee, and no such processing fee shall be assessed unless the Director has issued the employer a written warning for a prior failure. B. The Director may, by rule, establish a processing fee of $50 with regard to any payment of contributions, payment in lieu of contributions, interest, or penalty that is not made through electronic funds transfer if the employer fails to enclose the payment coupon provided by the Director with its payment or otherwise provide all of the information the coupon would provide, regardless of the amount due. With respect to the first instance of such a failure after the effective date of the rule, the Director shall issue the employer a written warning instead of a processing fee, and no such processing fee shall be assessed unless the Director has issued the employer a written warning for a prior failure.
