Weird Oregon Employment Laws That Can Create Liability for Your Company

Oregon’s a strange place. There’s no fluoride in the water and you can’t pump your own gas. The eccentricity extends to Oregon employment law, where employers who are new to the state or don’t have many employees may be caught off guard by some state-specific regulations that can land a company in unexpected legal liability. This webinar will provide a high-level overview of some uniquely Oregon laws that all companies doing business in the state should have a general awareness of.

Topics discussed will include:

• Stiff civil penalties for late wage payments (and how to avoid them)
• Prohibitions on credit checks and driver’s license requirements
• The Oregon Workers’ Benefit Fund Assessment’s annually changing fee
• How time off under the Oregon Family Leave Act does not run concurrently with state workers’ compensation leave
