- Break and meal periods, such as no breaks or meal periods given, no relief during a meal period, or no compensation during break periods.
- Deductions from paychecks including incorrect deductions, deductions for breakage or till shortages, or deductions not properly listed on the pay stub.
- Final paycheck problems such as the final paycheck is not received in a timely manner or not received at all.
- Other examples such as no pay stubs included with paychecks or irregular pay periods.
Instructions Fill out the Complaint Form completely and submit it to:
Bureau of Labor and Industries Wage and Hour Division 800 NE Oregon Street #1045 Portland, OR 97232
