United States Seventh Circuit

Nonresidents of Illinois who work in that state for an in-state employer may qualify as employees within the protection of the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act; because not all three criteria of the exclusion in 820 ILCS 115/2 apply to plaintiff, his Wage Act claim was improperly dismissed. Claims of interference with prospective economic advantage and breach of fiduciary duty were also improperly dismissed.
