Posting Requirements

OAR 437, Division 1 requires an employer to inform affected employees by posting copies of the unedited notice or other document promptly upon receipt in one or more places where it will readily be observable by affected employees (for example, a location where employees report each day or at a location from which the employees operate to carry out their activities).

Please note: If an employer fails to comply with these requirements, the Administrator may assess a civil penalty of not more than $1000 for each violation.
