Other Classifications of Work:

For definitions of classifications not otherwise set out, the
Department generally has on file such definitions which are available.
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
clarifications.
