(Springfield, IL) — Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs is teaming up with the Illinois Department of Labor in an effort to return unpaid wages and penalties to Illinois workers. State workers can now search the treasurer’s I-CASH website to see if unpaid wages and penalties pursued and collected by the Department of Labor are waiting for them to claim. The IDOL investigates wage theft and recovers back wages when it finds that an employer has underpaid workers in violation of state law. However, workers don’t always know they have money coming their way.
