The law protects employees from discrimination in all terms and conditions of employment, such as: hiring, firing, layoff, harassment, selection, promotion, demotion, performance evaluation, transfer, pay, tenure, discipline (suspension, written or verbal reprimand, etc.), terms and conditions of employment (working hours, vacation, and sick leave , etc.), seniority, union representation, and so on. For more information, see Filing a Charge of Discrimination. Note that some employment issues are not covered by IDHR. For instance, disputes about overtime pay or collecting unpaid wages, if not related to discrimination, fall under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Labor.
