DON’T FORGET TO UPDATE YOUR POSTERS

Because of recent changes to several different state laws, employers need to update certain required posters.  For example, the state minimum wage has increased to $7.95 per hour.  In addition, the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) has been modified to include grandparents and grandchildren in the definition of “family member”, and also to mandate that employees be allowed to use accrued sick leave for family leave.  Finally, the required Oregon OSHA poster has been modified to provide that employees have 90 days to file a safety and health complaint with the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), and 30 days to file a complaint with Oregon OSHA.

To remain compliant, make sure your posters are current.  For more information about where to obtain the required posters, contact the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, or click here to access the BOLI website: http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/CRD/C_Postings.shtml
