The 2025 Illinois Pay Stub Law expands employee transparency and wage accountability statewide. Beginning January 1, 2025, Illinois employers are required to provide itemized pay stubs each pay period and retain copies for at least three years. This mandate, established under Public Act 103-0953, amends the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act and gives workers greater insight into their earnings, deductions, and working hours. According to the Illinois Department of Labor, the law is designed to strengthen workplace protections by helping employees verify pay and detect potential payroll issues.

The 2025 Illinois employment laws introduce key changes aimed at enhancing worker protections and ensuring equitable labor practices across the state. Recently, the Illinois Department of Labor updated its required workplace posters and disclosures for 2025, including “Your Rights Under Illinois Employment Laws”. With updates to minimum wage, overtime pay, paid leave, and equal pay regulations, these laws establish clear standards for both employers and employees. Strengthening compliance measures and increasing transparency, these new regulations address workplace fairness, wage security, and employee well-being.
