The Illinois Department of Labor has launched a campaign to make workers aware of their rights in Illinois.
Jason Keller, assistant director of the Illinois Department of Labor, is talking to people around the state about the One Day Rest in Seven Act. He says the law applies to full-time workers only and requires workers to get a 24 hour period of rest and a 20-minute break, at least, for lunch for those working more than 7.5 hours in a day.
If you feel that you have been subject to a violation of the One Day Rest in Seven Act, you can contact the Department of Labor by 217-782-6206 or by going to Illinois.gov/idol.
