Staying compliant with workplace posting requirements in Illinois isn’t just good practice; it’s the law. Federal and state agencies require employers to display specific labor law posters in areas where employees can easily see them. In 2026, several key Illinois workplace posters have been updated, including the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act, Your Rights Under Illinois Employment Laws, and the Victims’ Economic Security and Safety Act (VESSA) posters.
Let’s break down what’s changed and how employers can stay compliant.
Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act Poster
Rights for temporary workers and the responsibilities of day and temporary labor agencies are outlined on this poster.
What’s Changed in 2026:
While the legal requirements remain the same, the 2026 updates reflect revised address and contact information for Illinois Department of Labor offices.
Your Rights Under Illinois Employment Laws Poster
This poster provides employees with information about wages, employee rights, working conditions, and safety standards. It also highlights laws such as the Violent Crime Victims’ Leave, which provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave to employees who are victims of violence. Updates to this law prompted the 2026 revision of the poster.
What’s Changed in 2026:
Effective January 1, 2026, employees cannot be discriminated against or retaliated against for using an employer-issued electronic device to document a crime of violence. Employers must also provide employees with access to the data stored on these devices.
Illinois Victims’ Economic Security and Safety Act (VESSA) Poster
The VESSA poster informs employees of their rights if they are victims of domestic or sexual violence.
What’s Changed in 2026:
VESSA now includes:
- The right for employees to access digital documents or communications stored on an employer-issued device that relates to any crime of violence
- Protections prohibiting discrimination, retaliation, or treating an employee or job applicant unfavorably for using an employer-issued device to record a crime of violence committed against them or a family or household member
