Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

Re: Collection of Pay and Serverance Pay

If your employer has violated a settlement agreement, your claim is one for breach of contract. Which court would hear the case -- i.e., whether small claims or Law Division, for example -- depends upon the amount in controversy.

If your employer has breached this agreement with you as well as others, it may be having significant financial problems. Thus, even if successful in a lawsuit, you might not be able to collect.
