Legal Question in Employment Law in Oregon

Re: non payment of wages

Oregon law permits you to bring suit to recover your unpaid wages. In any such action, you can recover attorneys fees from the defendant-employer as well -- at least so long as a written demand is given before filing suit. In addition, when no wages are paid for a period of time, your right to receive at least minimum wages also has been violated, so your suit would include a minimum wage claim as well. You should seek the advice of a lawyer or contact the Wage & Hour division of the Oregon Bureau of Labor.

The above does not constitute legal opinion and is offered for the

purposes of discussion only. The law differs in every jurisdiction, and

you should not rely on any opinion except that of an attorney you have

retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts and who is familiar with the applicable law.
