Wage Violations
Regardless of whether you quit your job or were fired or laid off, transitioning to what comes next in life is often a difficult process. Without a steady income, it can seem impossible. But not receiving all the wages you earned at your former job just makes the process even more difficult.
We can help.
Depending on the nature of your employment and the manner of your termination, Oregon law provides strong protections for workers when their former employers don't pay you all that you're owed.
Even if your former employer owes you only a few dollars, there can be substantial statutory penalties for not getting you paid timely. The timeline varies for different circumstances, but even for an entry level worker earning minimum wage, the total penalties can quickly add up to a substantial amount. And if your employer doesn't properly and timely pay up all that they owe you? You can assert a claim for them to pay your attorneys fees, in addition to their own.
If you've left your previous employment and are still owed wages, contact us today for a free consultation.
