The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) recently adopted new regulations governing several provisions under the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act (IWPCA). Among them, the IDOL adopted new regulations that:

  1. create a five-factor test for determining when work-related expenses incurred by an employee primarily benefits the employer, such that the employer is required to reimburse the employee for those specific expenditures;
  2. clarify when employers may be liable for payment of employee expenses that exceed amounts set forth in the employer’s written expense reimbursement policy;
  3. create new recordkeeping requirements relating to employee-incurred expenses;
  4. clarify when an employee may file a claim with the IDOL seeking reimbursement of expenses;
  5. clarify what constitutes an enforceable wage deduction agreement for deductions occurring over a defined period; and
  6. create enhanced penalties for violations of the IWPCA.
