Employment Agreement for Oregon

Oregon legal context

Oregon is an at-will employment state. Oregon is not a right-to-work state. The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries enforces ORS § 659A.030 anti-discrimination provisions. Oregon has a mini-WARN act and progressive paid leave laws. ORS § 653.295 strictly limits non-competes — 12-month cap, salary threshold, advance notice required.
