The Beaver State is a fantastic place to work, and its employment laws cover just about every situation you can find yourself in at your job. From defining the state’s minimum wage, overtime pay, and pay day requirements, to regulating more complex issues like union membership and organization, Oregon’s employment statutes cover just about everything. The state also has legal safeguards for employees who report their employers’ violations of laws. Commonly known as “whistleblowers,” regulations protect them from being retaliated against or fired.
