In Illinois, an application receipt for a temporary staffing agency job is a document that staffing agencies are required to provide to laborers who apply for work but are not placed with a third-party client. This receipt serves as proof of application and includes key details about the application and the agency. The purpose is to ensure transparency and accountability in the application process for temporary workers.
Note: As of July 1, 2024, the Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act requires staffing agencies to provide application receipts for all applicants who are not placed with clients. The Application Receipts feature must be enabled by someone from Avionté and supports Illinois' "Day and Temporary Labor Services Act Application Receipt" requirements. There is no additional cost for enabling this.
Key Takeaways
- Legal Compliance: The Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act requires staffing agencies to provide application receipts to job seekers who apply but are not placed, helping agencies avoid potential compliance penalties and maintain regulatory standards.
- Configurable Automation: AviontéBOLD can automatically send compliant application receipts for configured offices, reducing manual work for agencies while ensuring consistent compliance for online applications.
- Complete Record Keeping: The system maintains comprehensive records of all application receipts created, providing agencies with full audit capabilities and export functionality for regulatory review and compliance documentation.
Application Receipt Requirements
When applicants seek day or temporary labor assignments through any method (in-person, online, or app-based) but are not placed with a client that day, staffing agencies must provide a signed application receipt using the Department-approved form. This receipt must include:
(1) the name and location of the day and temporary labor service agency and branch office;
(2) the name and address of the applicant;
(3) the date and the time that the applicant sought the work assignment;
(4) the manner in which the applicant sought the work assignment;
(5) the specific work sites or type of jobs sought by the applicant, if applicable.
(6) signature of agency employee
Configuration
The Application Receipts feature must be enabled by someone from Avionté. Please reach out to Support to enable this feature. Currently this feature supports the state of Illinois' "Day and Temporary Labor Services Act Application Receipt," modeled after the sample form provided by the Illinois Department of Labor in 2024.
An example of the form this generates is available here: DTLSA Sample Application Receipt
System Settings
Two system settings are recommended for clients operating in Illinois:
- Application Receipts - Enables the core feature functionality
- Application Receipts Audit - Enables audit export capabilities
User Permissions
Administrators should configure the following permissions based on user roles:
Wet Signature Admin
When the user has 'Application Receipts' enabled, they will be able to see Application Receipts in Talent > Documents and have the Quick Action to Create Application Receipt. Without this permission, users will not be able to see or manually send Application Receipts.
Application Receipts Audit
This permission provides access to the audit export functionality for compliance reporting.
