Illinois Wage & Hour Outlook: What’s Next? – September 29

A recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling makes clear that compliance with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not necessarily satisfy the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (IMWL), opening the door to broader claims involving pre- and post-shift activities and other off-the-clock work.

Join us for a practical discussion of what this decision means for employers today, the key legal questions that remain unresolved, and proactive steps organizations can take to evaluate and mitigate risk. Our presenters will explain the decision's impact on compensable time under Illinois law, discuss emerging litigation trends, and offer practical guidance for reviewing timekeeping practices, workplace policies, and operational procedures.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• Key takeaways from the Illinois Supreme Court's decision and how it changes the relationship between the IMWL and the FLSA
• Emerging areas of litigation risk, including pre- and post-shift activities, on-premises work, and off-the-clock claims
• Practical considerations for evaluating timekeeping systems, workplace practices, and compliance strategies
• What multistate employers should know as similar wage and hour issues continue to develop across other jurisdictions
