Event Details

Oregon's Pay Equity Law was implemented on January 1, 2019.

This law requires every employer to complete a comparative analysis of each job and evaluate total compensation for each employee within the grouping of comparable characteristics. The Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) has published the final rules that support the implementation and administration of the law. This two-hour session will include an overview of the law, information about how to reach compliance and a review of the proposed administrative rules.

The state of Oregon has, over the years established a number of leave laws that are different from Federal leave law. In addition, the state has a number of leaves laws that are not found in federal law. In cases in which the two laws conflict, the law most beneficial to the employee prevails. Therefore, it is essential that employers understand both the state and federal laws.

This program will review the most commonly used, and often misunderstood leave laws as well as those that came out of the 2018-2019 legislative session.
