Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Oregon

an employer paid my wife $500 a month as a live in nanny for 2 months. When I confronted them with the fact that this was less than 20% of the median salary of a live in nanny, the settled with me and wrote my wife a $7000 check. 2 days later they stopped payment on the check and texted me to contact their lawyer. Is this breach of an implied settlement? How does this work? what should I do?

If you can't settle the matter privately, you should probably contact your own attorney. Depending on what the employment agreement and settlement agreement looked like (were either reduced to writing, or just a verbal understanding) it might still be enforceable in court. If not, you might have to file a wage claim with BOLI or file a civil suit.
