IL Law Question...

Ixtapa99

Isn't there a state or federal law written about the number of days an EE can work straight without having a day off? I know I read something but just can't remember. We have a new employee (3 wks) that has volunteered to work every Sunday for the past two weeks. He also usually works the Saturday shift as well leaving him without an entire day off for the "day of rest" thing. Granted some of these Sundays, the EE may have worked only 4 hrs or so. Anyway, I have advised the EE's supervisor to schedule a day off for this guy until I can get to the bottom of this one. Thanks for any advice! x:D

IL Dept of Labor -- One Day Rest in Seven Act. Law allows for a least 24 hours of rest in every calendar week. A calendar week is defined as seven consecutive 24 hour periods. Under the Act, employers may ask IDOL for a relaxation of this requirement.
Go to [url]www.legis.state.il.us[/url] & get the entire Act.
While your looking for Il laws, see if you can find out some info about the Organ Donor law that goes into effect 01/01/03 ....... I can't find anything.

JKlink: In MS, the donor program is affiliated with the State Department of Public Safety (Highway Patrol). They assist with your wishes through having the donor election of the driver printed on his/her license. Maybe they could advise you.

Thanks -- I just found it -- it's a new law that applies to State employees, giving them leave for donation of an organ.

Glad you found it. P.S. It cannot be a heart though, because when I was a State employee I was told several times that we did not have one.
