Employment law is a broad area covering all areas of the employer/employee relationship except collective bargaining, which is called labor law. Employers in Oregon must comply with state law and federal law in many cases. These laws cover wages, pay rates, conditions of employment, hiring and firing, on-the-job injuries, safety in the workplace, leave time and many other parts of an employment relationship.
