Title 56 IDES RULES Part 2732
R-79 (05/11)
Example: Smith has his name and address painted on the doors of his truck. While operating his truck in
the performance of services for XYZ Trucking, Smith also has affixed to his truck an identification device
indicating he is hauling for XYZ. There is nothing on the truck to indicate Smith does not offer his services
to the public. Under these facts, absent any other evidence that indicates XYZ has failed to satisfy the
elements of subsections (e) through (k) of this Section, the services Smith performs for XYZ are exempt
from the Act's definition of "employment".
k) Section 212.1(a) of the Act is not satisfied if, as a condition for retaining an individual's services as an operator of a
truck, truck-tractor or tractor, the person or entity to which the individual is contracted specifies the person or entity
from which the individual is to purchase the truck, truck-tractor or tractor.
1) Example: Smith operates a truck for ABC Trucking Company. The truck was purchased from XYZ Company,
from which ABC requires anyone who wishes to drive for ABC to purchase his or her truck. Section 212.1 does
not exempt the services Smith performs for ABC from the Act's definition of "employment."
2) Example: Jones operates a truck for XYZ Trucking Company. Jones purchased the truck from Smith.
Previously, Adams, the owner of XYZ, had advised Jones that Smith was interested in selling the truck. Adams
had also indicated that, based on what he knew about the truck, he would have bought it if he had been in the
market for a truck. However, at no time did Adams indicate that Jones' ability to perform services for XYZ was
dependent upon Jones' purchasing a truck from Smith. Under these facts, absent any other evidence that
indicates that XYZ has failed to satisfy the requirements of subsections (e) through (k) of this Section, the
services Jones performs for XYZ are exempt from the Act's definition of "employment".

Section 2732.210 Mandatory Jury Service
Mandatory service on a jury shall not constitute employment under the Unemployment Insurance Act (Ill. Rev. Stat.
1987, ch. 48, par. 300 et seq.) Nor shall payments made for such services constitute wages subject to the payment of
contributions.
Example: A county requires that all registered voters, except those exempted by law, be available to serve on juries
for the county court system. The jurors are paid on a per diem basis for their services. Such services are not
voluntary and are compelled by law. Therefore, pursuant to this Section, such services shall not constitute
employment nor shall the per diem payments constitute wages.

405/100 et seq.], and payments made to the individual for such activities shall not constitute wages subject to the
payment of contributions.
