The following list is considered as those days for which holiday rates

Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and
Veterans Day in some classifications/counties.  Generally, any of
these holidays which fall on a Sunday is celebrated on the following
Monday.  This then makes work performed on that Monday payable at the

local may alter certain days of celebration.  If in doubt, please
check with IDOL.

If a task to be performed is not subject to one of the
classifications of pay set out, the Department will  upon being

provide such rate, such rate being deemed to exist by reference in
this  document.  If no neighboring county rate applies to the task,
the Department shall undertake a special determination, such special
determination  being then deemed to have existed under this
determination.  If a project requires these, or any classification not
listed, please contact IDOL at 217-782-1710 for  wage rates or
