Employment-related problems can be very difficult.  Since most people rely on employment to pay bills, job loss or mistreatment at work can be life-consuming.

There is a wealth of Oregon employment law information available for you on this website.  To get you started in the right direction, please click one of the links below.  However, since the law changes frequently, you should not rely solely on anything you find here.  Instead, it is best to discuss your situation with an attorney.

I truly hope the information here helps you understand some basic concepts related to employment rights and gets you started down the right path.

If an employee believes that payment calculations were made in error or that discriminatory conduct occurred, it is usually worthwhile to request employment records.

What exactly are employees entitled to? Under ORS 652.750(2), the employee can review all records used to determine:

  • Qualification for Employment
  • Promotions
  • Compensation
  • Disciplinary Action
  • Termination

ORS 652.750(3) requires the employer to keep these records intact and produce them on demand for 60 days following termination of employment. The statute also requires, by implication, that employers keep records available during the course of employment, with a few exceptions.

The employer may charge for the records, but only a reasonable amount to recoup the actual cost of providing the records (photocopy charges, etc.)
