Portland Wage Claim Cases

Wage and Compensation Disputes in Oregon

For both employees and employers, there are many ways in which disputes over wages can occur. These include such instances or allegations of failure to pay wages or compensation owed, failure to pay for overtime worked or for "off the clock " work, or improper deductions from wages. Misclassification of employees as independent contractors can also adversely affect their pay, whether this was done for that purpose of otherwise. If you have not been paid the wages or compensation to which you are entitled or you are an employer who has been accused of unfair payment practices, talk to a Portland employment law attorney.

An attorney can review the specifics of your case, evaluate its strengths and weaknesses and determine the best way to approach your situation. Specific laws exist that govern pay and payroll deduction requirements, overtime and employee compensation. They include the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and many additional state and federal laws. These regulations can protect individuals and companies from unjust outcomes in such disputes when applied by insightful legal counsel.
