IL HB2488

Amends the Equal Pay Act of 2003 to remove the requirement that businesses file an Annual Employer Information Report (EEO-1) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as a condition for equal pay registration certificate requirements; the requirement now applies to private employers with 100 or more employees in Illinois regardless of EEO-1 filing status

Defines 10 specific job categories for equal pay compliance purposes: executive/senior-level officials and managers, first/mid-level officials and managers, professionals, technicians, sales workers, administrative support workers, craft workers, operatives, laborers and helpers, and service workers

Amends the Prevailing Wage Act to clarify that "general prevailing rate of wages" includes full journeyman annualized fringe benefits for training and apprenticeship programs registered with the Office of Apprenticeship within the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration

Replaces references to the "Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training" with current terminology referencing the "Office of Apprenticeship" to reflect the updated organizational structure within the U.S. Department of Labor
