The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) is the code department[2][3] of the Illinois state government that is responsible for the administration and enforcement of more than 20 labor and safety laws.[4] Its director is Hugo Chaviano, who was appointed in January 2015 by Governor Bruce Rauner.[5]

Beginning in 2015, it will also be responsible for enforcing the Job Opportunities For Qualified Applicants Act, which prohibits employers from inquiring into, considering, or requiring the disclosure of a job applicant's criminal history or background on a job application.[6]
