Report Link Oregon's Minimum Wage Increased Again: Happy New Year.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - January 05, 2009 Oregon's minimum wage increased forty-five cents, from $7.95 to $8.40, effective January 1, 2009. The increase comes thanks to an Oregon statute requiring the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) to calculate a minimum-wage adjustment each September. The adjustment is based on any increase during the previous 12 months in the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index (CPI). Report Link Oregon Supreme Court Puts the 'Breaks' on Rest Period Claims.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - May 22, 2008 In a decision that is sure to please Oregon employers, the Oregon Supreme Court, in Gafur v. Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center , held that Oregon employees do not have a private right of action to recover wages for rest period claims brought under Oregon wage and hour laws. Report Link Oregon Supreme Court: No Private Right of Action for Missed Rest.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 19, 2008 Although the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) has promulgated regulations which require every Oregon employer to provide employees ten-minute rest periods for every segment of four hours of work, the Oregon Supreme Court has held that a violation of BOLI's rest period regulations does not give rise to a private right of action for unpaid wages. Gafur v. Legacy Good Samaritan Hosp. & Med. Ctr., __ P.3d __ (May 15, 2008). While Oregon employers should remain vigilant in ensuring employees are provided mandatory rest breaks, the Supreme Court's decision all but forecloses the prospect of class action litigation based on rest period violations.
