An Illinois-specific unpaid internship offer letter and agreement (also known as a learning contract). This letter agreement outlines the terms and conditions of a student's unpaid internship, including establishing the parties' expectations that the internship is unpaid with no promise of employment. This Standard Document is applicable to private companies and is drafted in favor of the company. It is based on the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) unpaid internship requirements (as interpreted by the Department of Labor (DOL) and federal courts) and Illinois law. Local laws may impose additional or different requirements, but this document will be useful and relevant to employers within the state of Illinois. For more on the scope of local law coverage, see Local Law Coverage in Labor & Employment Resources. It has integrated notes with important explanations and drafting tips.
