DAY LABORERS-DISCRIMINATION
Summary
Amends the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act. In the Section containing legislative findings, adds a finding that temporary laborers are vulnerable to discriminatory practices. Defines "day or temporary labor applicant". In a Section concerning recordkeeping, provides that the day and temporary labor service agency shall keep a record of the race, ethnicity, and gender of each day or temporary laborer or day or temporary labor applicant, as provided by the person who requests employment with or is contracted by the day and temporary labor service agency (instead of "the race and gender of each day or temporary laborer sent by the day and temporary labor service agency"). Provides that the day and temporary labor service agency shall provide each day or temporary labor applicant with and retain a copy of a written notice signed by an employee of the day and temporary labor agency and specifying the date, time, and location the applicant requested employment. Provides that at the time of annual registration, the day and temporary labor service agency shall submit to the Department of Labor, on a form created by the Department, a report containing the information required by the new provisions, grouped by branch office, in the aggregate for all day or temporary laborers assigned within this State in the prior year. Provides that in the case of a health and safety or notice violation, a private right of action exists for compensatory damages and an amount between $50 and $500 for each violation (instead of "up to $500 for the violation"). Makes corresponding changes.
