The Illinois Child Labor Law Poster is an important part of any Illinois employers’ posting system at their workplaces across the state. But by no means is the Illinois Child Labor Law Poster the only posting that employers should be worried about.

No way. I’ve gone over this with you before, but on this important matter, I’m willing to step up to the plate and discuss it one more time. There are six federal postings in the Illinois labor law poster, not to mention seven state postings.

These state postings—of which the Illinois Child Labor Law Poster is just part of one—are the Emergency Care posting, the Victim’s Economic Security and Safety Act posting, the Equal Pay Act of 2003 posting, the Unemployment Insurance posting, the Right-To-Know posting, the Minimum Wage posting, and the Workers’ Compensation posting.

The Illinois Child Labor Law Poster is but part of the minimum wage posting, or the posting that goes over all of the wage and labor laws in the state. In fact, the labor laws on the Illinois Child Labor Law Poster are but just one of 26 laws that the Illinois Department of Labor is responsible for upholding. So employers, you got your work cut out for you.

But you know that already probably. So why rub it in your face? Instead, I’ll talk directly to the Illinois Child Labor Law Poster. It covers laws in the state about workers under the age of 16. It protects these minors by requiring them to have employment certificates confirming their ages, and forbidding that they work in certain dangerous or unsavory jobs.

The Illinois Child Labor Law Poster also talks about how state law limits them from working any time before 7 am and after 7 pm. In the summer, however, the hours are extended until 9 pm from June 1 to Labor Day.
