In addition to the '==' typo mentioned by others, you are also checking whether the label is checked rather than the input. Try:

function statecheck(layer) {
    var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer),
        input = myLayer.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
    //myLayer.style.backgroundColor = "#bff0a1";
    if(input.checked == true){
        myLayer.style.backgroundColor = "#bff0a1";
        } else {
        myLayer.style.backgroundColor = "#eee";
    };
}
