Illinois employment context
HR compliance for Illinois employers
Illinois is one of the few states that mandates workplace training. Under the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-109), every employer with employees working in Illinois must provide sexual harassment prevention training to all employees at least once a year, starting from the first employee on payroll. The training must cover the definition and examples of unlawful sexual harassment, the federal and state remedies available to victims, and the employer’s responsibilities for prevention, investigation and correction. Employers may use the free model program from the Illinois Department of Human Rights or any program that meets or exceeds it; IDHR enforces the mandate with civil penalties that reach $5,000 for repeat violations. Illinois employers also generated 5,180 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so completion records matter. Catapult’s live online sessions meet the annual requirement for Springfield teams, with a completion record for every attendee.
