Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

Sec. 2. For all employees, other than separated employees, "wages"
shall be defined as any compensation owed an employee by an employer pursuant
to an employment contract or agreement between the 2 parties, whether
the amount is determined on a time, task, piece, or any other basis of

compensation" and shall be defined as wages, salaries, earned commissions,
earned bonuses, and the monetary equivalent of earned vacation and earned
holidays, and any other compensation owed the employee by the employer pursuant
to an employment contract or agreement between the 2 parties. Where an
employer is legally committed through a collective bargaining agreement
or otherwise to make contributions to an employee benefit, trust or fund on
the basis of a certain amount per hour, day, week or other period of time,
the amount due from the employer to such employee benefit, trust, or fund
shall be defined as "wage supplements", subject to the wage collection
provisions of this Act.
As used in this Act, the term "employer" shall include any individual,
partnership, association, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, employment and
labor placement agencies where wage payments are made
directly or indirectly by the agency or business for work undertaken by
employees under hire to a third party pursuant to a contract between the
business or agency with the third party, or any person or group of
persons acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in
relation to an employee, for which one or more persons is gainfully employed.
As used in this Act, the term "employee" shall include any individual
permitted to work by an employer in an occupation, but shall not include any
individual:

|
|
(2) who performs work which is either outside the
| | usual course of business or is performed outside all of the places of business of the employer unless the employer is in the business of contracting with third parties for the placement of employees; and
|
|
(3) who is in an independently established trade,
| | occupation, profession or business.
