SUMMARY:Contractor Liability for Unpaid Subcontractor Wages Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to protect your company from potential financial losses when subcontractors fail to pay their workers.\n\nEffective July 1st\, 2023\, two new Illinois laws make general contractors liable for unpaid wages by their subcontractors. Register below to participate in a special legal webinar to learn how these bills can negatively impact your bottom line and how to protect your business from unscrupulous subcontractors who fail to pay their workers.\n\nOn July 21st\, 2022\, the Building Industry Association of Greater Chicago (BIAGC)\, in conjunction with the Home Builders Association of Illinois (HBAI)\, will host a special webinar to discuss the impact of HB5412 and HB4600 that were signed into law by Governor JB Pritzker on June 10th.\n\nThe wage theft measure\, House Bill 5412\, was a significant initiative of the Mid-America Carpenters' Regional Council\, which allows a worker with a wage theft or fringe benefit grievance against a subcontractor to sue the primary contractor to rectify the situation. The bill was opposed by the Home Builders Association of Illinois\, BIAGC\, and other home builder associations around the state.\n\nAmong other opponents were minority subcontractor groups\, including the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association\, the Black Contractors Owners and Executives\, and the Federation of Women Contractors. They argued that the measure was a union attempt to drive up the cost of non-union labor.\n\nWhile HB5412 exempts union projects\, homeowners who act as general contractors\, and government projects\, HB4600 added exemptions for renovation or repairs to existing residential structures\, projects under $20\,000\, and work on a single unit of a multi-family building. HB4600 also created the Bond Reform in the Construction Industry Task Force.\n\nPresenters will be BIAGC Legal Counsel Corey Stern of Chitkowski Law Office and Michael Mannion of Locke Lord LLP\, the HBAI lobbyist in Springfield.\n\n \n\nDon't Delay.
