Arrest Records – Employers in Illinois may not inquire into or use the fact of an arrest as a basis for refusing to hire. An employer cannot ask if an applicant has been arrested. An employer also cannot use criminal history information which has been expunged, sealed, or impounded as a basis for denying employment or promotion.

Is Illinois an At-will State?
In Illinois, employees are presumed to be “at will.” At-will employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as it’s not illegal. Generally, employees who work under an employment contract can only be terminated for reasons specified in the contract. In Illinois, an employment relationship is at-will unless there is a defined duration for the employment contract or if the contract permits termination by the employer only under specified circumstances.
