New Illinois Law Expands Employee Privacy Rights and Employer Obligations

Employers in Illinois face big changes ahead. On Oct. 30, 2025, the Illinois General Assembly passed SB 2339 — an expansion to the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act. The bill is now on Gov. JB Pritzker's desk and will immediately take effect once signed.

This new legislation is a response to the increased federal immigration enforcement and will reshape employer responsibilities around employment eligibility verification and employee privacy. Learn more on our Labor & Employment blog.
