Unpaid Final Paycheck Rights

Summary

In Oregon, employers must provide final paychecks by the next business day after termination. If unpaid, you can file a wage claim with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. Employers may be required to pay attorney fees if you win a wage claim lawsuit, but this is not guaranteed and depends on the specifics of your case. Consult an employment attorney for more information.
