The current minimum wage in Illinois is $15 per hour.
Tipped employees, minors, and workers with disabilities have different rates, and overtime rules add an additional layer of protection for workers putting in more than 40 hours per week. Chicago has a minimum wage above $15 per hour, dependent on employer size.
If you suspect your employer is violating the Illinois Minimum Wage Law — by paying below the minimum wage, improperly taking a tip credit, making unlawful deductions, or failing to pay overtime — you have legal remedies.
