This video explains Illinois Governor Pritzker’s phased wage plan — raising the state minimum wage by $1 per hour annually from 2020 until it reaches $15/hour. The policy aims to elevate compensation for care workers over time.

For agencies, staying ahead of these increases is essential. CareSmartz360’s payroll logic adapts to scheduled wage climbs, ensuring caregivers are always paid the correct rate without any manual recalculations.

Who we empower every day

• Agency Owners – Plan for all future wage changes while maintaining budget alignment

• Caregivers – Benefit from predictable, rising wage structures
• Billers / Payroll Staff – Automate wage escalation
• Supervisors – Monitor compensation trends across the staff
• Schedulers – Project labor costs with future wage steps
• On-Call Coordinators – Prevent any unintentional underpayment

With wage rates rising, relying on manual payroll is risky. Automation ensures your agency evolves with policy, not behind it.

Illinois agencies using CareSmartz360 will never scramble when wage rates change. The system evolves with law — so your caregivers are paid correctly, and your operations stay smooth.
