Legal Question in Employment Law in Oregon

Re: how to make a employer receive a letter

It appears you were not paid some amount of wages upon termination and are due a penalty. To get the full penalty, you must make written demand and the employer must not pay within 12 days of that demand. The fact the employer refuses to sign is unlikely to get him/it off the hook. Usually, if notice is mailed and refused, it is the same as having received it.

You should get the assistance of a lawyer. The statute giving you the right to penalties also provides for payment of attorneys fees by the employer.

This is not specific legal advice, but a general comment on your inquiry. For legal advice about a specific question, you must establish an attorney client relationship with a lawyer and provide all the relevant facts and circumstances. Please also be aware that you have only a limited time in which to commence an action to enforce your rights. If you intend to pursue a potential claim, consult an attorney without delay and establish an attorney client relationship.
