TEMP WORKER
FAIRNESS & SAFETY ACT

EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK

It's time to end permatemping and protect workers from discrimination, sexual harassment, wage theft, injury, and retaliation.

Makes Temp Work the Pathway to Stable, Quality Employment

  • Mandates equal pay for equal work

  • Creates an even playing field that will benefit responsible staffing agencies

  • Will result in low-wage temp workers making about $4 more per hour

  • Creates new tools to preserve the rights of workers after SCOTUS robbed workers of their protections under IL law by allowing arbitration agreements to become ubiquitous

Protects Workers & Closes Major Loophole in the Workers Rights Amendment 

  • Requires equal training for equal or similar work to keep temp workers safe

  • Protects workers with increased demographic reporting requirements

  • Protects unions by requiring that workers must be informed before being assigned to a worksite with a labor dispute and have a right to refuse that assignment without fear of retaliation

  • Prevents staffing agency discrimination + retaliation by requiring daily application receipts

  • Prevents wage theft and misleading business practices by mandating the disclosure of the remaining bondage fee and staffing agency markup on each pay stub

Adequately Funds & Expands Enforcement at No Expense to the Taxpayer

  • Updates fines and fees to fully fund enforcement of the law

  • Creates a whistleblower provision that expands enforcement capacity under the law

  • New whistleblower provision also creates a significant funding stream for enforcement

Prohibits Abusive Contracts

  • Requires that contracts only remain in effect for the duration of the current assignment

  • Requires staffing agencies to share a copy of any contract with a third party that would impact the current or future employment of a worker
