Illinois Employee Classification Act Regulations released!New Practice Group to Serve Construction and Trucking Companies who use Independent ContractorsWessels Sherman Joerg Liszka Laverty Seneczko P.C. has launched a brand new legal practice group to advise Illinois construction and trucking companies on how to stay out of trouble under the new Illinois Employee Classification Act. Construction and trucking companies who use independent contractors in Illinois are in great need of in-depth legal advice, according to Wessels Sherman partners. According to Joerg, "There is a harsh new law in Illinois that became effective January 1, 2008 that construction and trucking companies who use independent contractors need to be forewarned about. Construction and trucking companies need to make important defensive changes in order to lower their liability in using independent contractors." Joerg announced a series of teleconferences (listed above) for business owners on defending yourself in the face of the Illinois Employee Classification Act. These teleconferences are designed to be informative and help construction and trucking companies avoid the harsh penalties of the new Illinois Employee Classification Act. According to Joerg, attorneys in the Wessels Sherman practice group have successfully represented construction and trucking companies before many government agencies on the issue of the independent contractor classification. Wessels Sherman attorneys have also effectively represented clients in a broad range of investigations into independent contractor status. We note that under the new Illinois Employee Classification Act, construction and trucking companies who are found to have misclassified independent contractors are subject to civil and even criminal penalties. To learn more about the series of teleconferences and the Wessels Sherman Joerg Liszka Laverty Seneczko P.C. practice group, call Shareholder Nancy Joerg or her legal assistant, Tammy Nelson, at (630) 377-1554.
